OPERATIONAL LIBRARY
Each guide is a region-specific field manual for building a local food supply chain. Farms, fisheries, markets, preservation calendars, and budget breakdowns — everything you need to feed yourself without relying on a container ship.
INCOMING INTEL
THEATER: Greater Portland, Maine
Farm-to-table capital of the Northeast. Lobster wharves, island farms, and a food scene that punches above its weight class.
THEATER: Greater Bangor, Maine
Gateway to Maine's agricultural interior. Potato country meets the Penobscot, with farmland that doesn't know it's trendy yet.
THEATER: Southern New Hampshire
New Hampshire's largest city with direct access to Merrimack Valley farms, orchards, and a growing network of local producers.
THEATER: Champlain Valley, Vermont
Vermont's local food infrastructure is the gold standard. Dairy cooperatives, grain revivals, and a culture that actually buys what it preaches.
THEATER: Western Massachusetts
Rolling farmland between the Taconic Range and the Connecticut River. Small-scale agriculture with serious depth in dairy and produce.
THEATER: Cape Cod & Islands
Surrounded by some of the most productive fishing grounds on Earth. Shellfish grants, cranberry bogs, and salt marsh agriculture.
THEATER: Rhode Island
The smallest state with the shortest supply chains. Narragansett Bay shellfish, Blackstone Valley farms, and a diner culture that hasn't forgotten where food comes from.
EXTENDED THEATER
THEATER: San Francisco Bay Area
Year-round growing season, legendary farmers markets, and the birthplace of the farm-to-table movement. If you can't eat local here, you're not trying.
THEATER: Reno-Tahoe, Nevada
High desert meets Sierra Nevada. Ranching country with an emerging local food scene and access to California's agricultural corridor.
