Fremont Local Foods

Non-profit marketing, education, and community activist organization engaged in the Fremont County food network, including helping producers, processors, retailers, regulators, and consumers. Fremont Local Foods oversees the Fremont Local Market (see listing below).

“Our mission is to ‘Rebuild the local food economy in the Wind River Basin.’ In the past, we’ve hosted local food festivals and dinners, presented local food symposiums, and established a farmers’ market. We also engaged with our representatives and regulators to change laws and regulations in the state (to benefit the local food industry),” says Fremont Local Foods president Steve Doyle.

“Today, we are focused on launching the Fremont Local Market, which is one of only a few markets statewide that boasts only locally sourced foods,” he adds. “The market provides customers a great deal more convenience than a typical farmers’ market. More importantly, we leverage the producers’ investment in marketing.”
