How It Works

The Puget Sound Food Network (PSFN), a project of the Northwest Agriculture Business Center, is building a supply chain support system that combines technology and professional staff to increase the production, distribution, and consumption of food and other agricultural goods produced in the region. PSFN will help retail stores, restaurants, institutions and consumers locate and receive local product in the varieties and quantities needed at competitive prices.

We've put together this short guide about how PSFN works including some easy-to-follow videos. Take a look and see all that PSFN has to offer.
