When you're in the business of growing, making or selling beautiful local food, you deserve to be noticed.
With a Premium Listing on Local Food Loop, you will stand out as a place that is serious about the quality, origin and local flavour of your food.
Make your listing gorgeous with your own images. Share your inspiring story. Add your logo. Include all your social media links. Create offers for customers in your area. Make announcements about whatever you like. Show everyone exactly which local products you sell. Manage all this from your own secure control panel in your favourite browser. In short, get noticed, curate loyal customers and sell more.
Go Premium to strengthen your brand, and connect with customers who are already trying to find you.
Tell your story your way
Stand out with pictures that tell a thousand words. Change them whenever you want to. Connect with your customers by sharing your story - people want to know their farmer, their butcher, their baker, even if they never meet them in person.
Your Premium listing lets you tell your story to create that connection with an extended description of your place, as well as a whole screen devoted to your inspiring story. Your extended description and story images will also appear on your map pop-up.
Create offers, deals & announcements
Have your berries just come into season? Do you want to create a limited time offer or special deal? Has your farm-gate just re-opened for spring? Or maybe you’ve just put a great new local beer on tap? With your Premium listing, you can create offers and announcements on your secure app dashboard and they’ll instantly appear on your screen inside the app, visible to every user who checks out your listing.
Users simply redeem the offer by showing it to you on the app when they visit your place. (We're currently working on creating offers that will self-destruct if you're keen on single use discounts.)
Social is everything - connect with people looking for you
You probably spend time carefully crafting more than just food. Your personality comes through on social media, so it makes sense to introduce customers to your facebook, twitter and instagram feeds, doesn’t it? App users can connect with Premium members on any or all of these channels with hotlinks that jump from the app directly to your feeds.
We’re all about community, as nothing says ‘connected’ like a bunch of likes, follows & regrams.
Local Produce Unlimited
What makes Local Food Loop especially awesome is the way it shows customers exactly where their food comes from. That’s what everyone wants to know. If you sell food, you can add unlimited local products to your listing, showing the origin of what’s available right now. If you grow or make food or drink, your Premium listing will give you total control over where your products are shown. We know that’s important, especially if you supply seasonally, or you’d prefer that your product was no longer associated with a re-seller.
And of course, if you sell your own food or drink at your own place, you’ll be able to highlight it there and proudly show off your zero food miles badge!
A Premium Listing in Local Food Loop costs as little per week as a good locally roasted coffee.
But it does so much more for you. Read more.
"Being a member of Local Food Loop allows customers to find our products, whether they be at a retail outlet or at a market. Thumbs up for bringing local producers together in this way!"
-- Ami Hillege, Otway Fields.

Area Supporters help regions and food sectors to really get noticed.
Area Supporters include local governments, regional tourism associations and industry associations or peak bodies. They support local food businesses in their geographic area of interest, or in a particular food sector.
Area Supporters can subsidise Premium listings for local food places in their region or sector, and are often the best promoters of their local food economy. This helps listed places take real advantage of their presence on Local Food Loop, especially in high tourist seasons or when food festivals are scheduled.
If you'd like to know more about becoming an Area Supporter, or you'd like us to talk to someone who could become one, please drop us a note.
Thanks to our early adopters, supporters, testers and friends. You are awesome!
We'd love to hear from you
