Let’s get local on the menu! It’s worth it…
People living in the Monadnock Region were asked about their dining habits and more specifically, what they think about local food. This is what we found…
- 99% reported that it was important to them to support local businesses and agriculture. (you!)
- 93% indicated that knowing which restaurants supported and served local food would impact their dining decisions. (good news for you!)
- 89% indicated that they would be willing to pay more if they knew the ingredients were local. (Hooray!)
