Central Italy earthquake: where to buy typical foods and help local economy | Abruzzo4foodies

After the repeated quakes strucking central Italy since August, many small family farms producing or selling typical products were affected. Despite over 28.000 citizens had to leave their homes and move to safer temporary areas or coastline cities, there are people who simply cannot abandon their farms and animals for fear of being robbed of what was not damaged by the terrible earthquakes.

Donating money to Civil Protection is certainly a way to help relief efforts but buying local products will also make an important contribution to many families in need. I have collected a list of farms and companies you may want to support in Umbria and le Marche:
