The Rainy River Future Development Corporation is continuing its efforts to promote local foods and help the district's agricultural industry.
The corporation hired a rural ag coordinator three years ago.
Jeannette Cawston says her work is helping people better understand the value of the local farms.
"That's what we're hoping to do," says Cawston, "is bring more awareness to local foods and buy local products. Then it brings more of the economic value to our communities."
Cawston says local farmers are also doing more to increase their visibility in the district and elsewhere.
