We partner with local media companies (Newspapers, TV Stations, Radio, Events...) in a way that they can benefit from our brand and use it for the good of the community and their customers/viewers/readers... We are all in the same boat here in Western Mass and Living Local is like Switzerland. We provide a neutral brand that is dedicated to locally owned businesses and the communities within Western Mass, period.

We are in the process of building a new platform and website for Living Local. We are planning to relaunch in September of 2020. In the meantime, we would love to hear from you. Once you join our mailing list, we will be sure and let you know what is happening and when we launch our new programs.
Western Massachusetts has a complete food ecosystem all its own - from local farmers bringing fresh foods to market every summer to the restaurants that prepare those foods into the delicious meals we all know and love. And every part of this ecosystem is supported by customers like you! Whenever you choose to dine at a locally owned restaurant or find ingredients for dinner at your favorite farmer’s market, you are often making a choice that is both healthier and cheaper - a combination not easily found at a national chain.
Western Massachusetts has a rich history of production, innovation, and entrepreneurship. This story of the Western Massachusetts economy is still being told today - thousands of local businesses are providing a plethora of products and services, both new and old! The local economy can provide everything from tools, machines, and materials to gifts, clothes, and luxury services. Better yet, local businesses can often provide a better quality product or service than the latest outlet of a national chain.
Perhaps Western Massachusetts’ most valuable resource is its sense of community. The counties, cities, and towns of our home boast dedicated nonprofits, and civically-minded businesses. Each time you get involved in your community, not only do you strengthen the ties that bind Western Massachusetts together, you reap the benefits thanks to the abundance of community resources that exist to help you and the local economy thrive!
