 Piedmont Triad Local Food Guide Local Stores, Grocers, and Bakeries Small local stores, grocers and bakeries are the good places to enjoy local food and make friends. While we as a nation tend towards bigness, there is also a movement towards the small and slow way of life. This is reflected in each of the following places. We have listed them below. If you find information that is incorrect or would like to submit your business information to be considered for the list, please fill out our submission form or email lfg@slowfoodpiedmont.org with the information. Printed copies of the 2006-2007 Piedmont Triad Local Food Guide may still be found at the Greensboro Farmers' Curb Market and other markets, retail and food businesses. However, there are no plans at this time to reprint our Local Food Guide. We will continue to update the online Triad Local Food Guide and you will find the most up-to-date information here.
