Eat Wyoming

Wyoming Local Foods Project was launched in January 2010 in an effort to improve relationships between consumers and producers of Wyoming foods. In addition to this website project efforts have included Wyoming Local Food Expos, local foods training, and the WY Local Foods Guide. Hard copies of our food guide are available for free at our County Extension Offices or can be ordered for a small fee from the UW Extension Ag Resource Center.

Project Team:

Kentz Willis is a UW Extension nutrition and food safety educator. He serves the Northeast area of Wyoming from the Sheridan County office.

Jen Jacobsen was a UW Extension nutrition and food safety educator in Teton County.

Suzy Pelican was the UW Extension nutrition and food safety specialist on campus in Laramie. She is now retired.
