We are entertaining the idea of having lunches of locally produced food. We live in an area with a high Amish population and anticipate buying a lot of food from them. Is there a way that we can prove the food was locally grown, harvested, and processed within 100 miles? Because they grow and process their own food, we know it meets the requirements but are unsure how to document it.
Thank you!

Hi Michael, I think you could use a Google map with a radius drawn in to pinpoint the location where the food was grown and processed (and show the 100 mile requirement is met). I’d provide a narrative explaining that you purchased it in an Amish community, and if you can include the name of the community and/or a website that confirms that such a community exists where you indicated on your Google map, you’d be totally fine. Hope this helps!
