We Eat Local combines the fun of a cheeky social competition with the goodness of locally sourced, ethical food. This app leads you to where you can eat and buy it - and then shows you exactly where it was grown or made.
THE MOST AUTHENTIC PLACES IN TOWN
Uncover real paddock to plate deliciousness at some of Victorias best local restaurants, local food retailers, farmers markets - and now from the farmers and growers themselves. See exactly where your food has come from: use the app to find out who grew your food, and see why everyone is talking about them. Taste and buy real food prepared beautifully and with love, using locally sourced ingredients.
FOOD WITH BENEFITS
You can earn nice surprises just by checking in, reviewing or rating the eateries and retailers you visit. Each month, using the app puts you straight onto the leaderboard and into the running for sought-after freebies.
• Tasty treats - Share in monthly rewards that you can put straight into your mouth. Who doesnt love the thought of that?
• Show off a bit – Out-score your friends and show off your local foodie smarts by reviewing places that go the extra mile to do the right thing.
• Get that warm gooey feeling – Knowing that every time you eat or buy food from a place on the app, youre helping local farmers and traditional artisans and their families to push back a bit against the big food giants.
BRING A FRIEND
Eating is a social thing, and even in these socially challenging times you can connect with your friends on the leaderboard, or invite someone new to the app to earn you both extra points. (Hey, if you win an avocado, you could put it down as a deposit on a house!)
ADD YOUR OWN FAVOURITES
Were always looking for more gorgeous local food places to eat and buy food from, so weve included a way for you to tell us about new spots that you reckon we should add. If theyre sourcing their ingredients and products from farmers and artisans on the city fringes, or farther afield (within a long walk or a short drive), wed love to hear about them, and so would loads of other We Eat Local app users. You could become famous. No, seriously, it has happened to other people before.
ABSOLUTELY NO IN-APP PURCHASES AND NO ANNOYING ADS
The app is free to download and use. And we hate those annoying popup ads as much as anyone.
