This section is for non-farm businesses that source local ingredients from producers to create value-added food and beverage products. (Note: this section can also apply to farms that source from other local farmers to create value-added food or beverages.)

Definitions:

Main ingredients: the key ingredient(s) needed to make your final product. For example, berries purchased to produce jams and jellies, hops purchased to produce beer, grain purchased to produce spirits, etc.

Local sourcing: businesses that purchase their main ingredients from local producers. This includes ingredients grown or produced in the Leduc region, or from Alberta.

There are six categories noted below. Please select your business category, list the products/ingredients you source and the value-added products you produce from locally sourced ingredients.

Source of main ingredients

In order to promote businesses that support local producers, please provide us with the following information to help quantify the amount or volume of locally sourced product.

Please identify the main ingredients you source locally by category, by volume and by quantity, as noted below.

By volume, and using this list of main ingredients, select the top three ingredients/categories that you source locally.

• Within each of these three categories, please provide a breakdown of the percentage that comes from Leduc County, Alberta, or other sources.

Examples:
