BRIEF:
In the past few decades the local food movement has grown significantly; however, local food still only constitutes less than 10% of the total food system in the United States. While farmers’ markets, locavore restaurants, and home vegetable gardens continue to grow in number, there remains a real need for systemic tools to inform the public, promote local food businesses, and facilitate local food distribution.

Entrants are asked to design a practical and symbolic center for the local food system in a New England community. The Farm to Fork Stand should actively engage with the existing local food system, promoting local products, farms, restaurants, and seasonal foods through information display, workshops, distribution, events, etc.
