New England Local Food Count Collecting Data Through April 30

Organizations across New England are invited to participate in the Local Food Count, a regional effort to measure how much food was sourced locally by schools, hospitals, dining services and other organizations in 2025. The Local Food Count is part of the New England Feeding New England initiative, which aims to strengthen the region’s food system and increase local food sourcing. Data collection is open through April 30, 2026, and the information gathered will help identify current purchasing patterns and opportunities to expand local procurement. Participation is open to organizations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont.
