Step 1: Add your company to the Locavorian directory

If you have more than one production location (all of them in the same country where your company is based in) but at least one of them is in the same state/autonomous community/province where you are headquartered, you can add your organization to the Locavorian directory.

Including additional information about your production chain is highly recommended.

Be trustworthy. Please make sure to share reliable information with users. Transparency is important to us and to Locavorian members. Users keep the power at all times to report misleading information and will soon be able to write reviews and rate companies and individual makers.
