About Choose Local:
Choose Local is a 7-part video and social media campaign led by Iowa Valley RC&D. The campaign includes seven short videos (3-5 minutes) that focus on the most common methods of accessing local food and specialty crops in Iowa. This marketing campaign will run February-August 2022, representing the time period from when consumers purchase annual CSA shares, to the height of farmers markets and on-farm events in Iowa.
- CSAs (February 8)
- Local restaurants (March 15)
- Farm stands (April 12)
- Farmer’s Markets (May 10)
- On-farm events (June 7)
- Flower farms (July 19)
- And the final, cumulative video (August 30)
This project was produced by Iowa Valley RC&D in partnership with Little Village Creative Services. This production was made possible by the Iowa Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, USDA Agricultural Marketing Service through Grant AM200100XXXXG044.
