This map displays markers for each local food source on the directory, colour-coded by production methods (organic, conventional, etc.) or type of local food source . You can click on a marker to bring up an infobox about that farm, which will give you its name, products, and contact information. Some infoboxes have an email or web address that you can use.

You can click-and-drag the map to move around it, or zoom in by double-clicking on a spot. The controls in the upper left of the map will also let you navigate and zoom in and out. The buttons on the upper left will let you choose to display roads, satellite imagery, or bottom.

To just see a map of one type of food source, like farms, click on the layer of interest in the side menu.

The Local Food Map is an online map based in the North Okanagan Region of BC, that allows you to find sources of local food closest to you. It will show you the locations of farms, retail outlets, or processors on a map of the area, and give you information about who runs them, what they produce, and how to contact them. The Local Food Mat can help you quickly find what you are looking for, but if you are more comfortable using listings try the Food Directory to search for specific food items.
