Local Foods sits at the center of a family of interconnected businesses built to increase responsible food processes.
Grocery & Distribution
Local Foods helps bring farm-to-table to life by connecting small providers with shoppers all across Chicago.

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.
Locally-sourced
Products created or grown within 350 miles of Chicago which can be trucked to the city in a single day.
Locally-processed
Products created from ingredients which don’t grow in our area (like coffee) but are processed here.
Beyond Local
Products from outside our region (like avocados) which are sourced from single suppliers and ethical producers.
Local Foods’ distribution criteria is even simpler.
If a product can be trucked to or from Chicago in a single day, we distribute it.
If you produce a product and are looking for a distributor like us, we’d love to talk.
