New app for local food movement

Can’t find local food vendors or producers?

There will soon be an app for that.

Sean Doherty, a student at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, is working with geographers and nutritionists at the University of Western Ontario to develop an app that will launch in November.

They have about 200 vendors and producers lined up already, most of them in the London area.

They hope to cover all of Southwestern Ontario.


Then people will be able to find where they can buy the local foods they want by checking their computer, tablet or smart phone.
