Inside our Willow Avenue Store
Local Foods uses three simple criteria to source products.
Every product’s origin is clearly displayed on the sales
floor so customers can make educated choices.
1
Locally-sourced
Products created or grown within 350 miles of Chicago which can be trucked to the city in a single day
2
Locally-processed
Products created from ingredients which don’t grow in our area (like coffee) but are procesed here
3
Beyond Local
Products from outside our region (like avocados) which are sourced from single suppliers and ethical producers
