Made in the Okanagan supports the one hundred mile economy with a "Buy Local" labeling program and serves as a business and community development incubator. We work to implement environmentally sustainable economic solutions that emphasize better prosperity for local manufacturers and food producers.
We offer a regional product identification label so that consumer awareness for local products increases resulting in greater sales for local producers. A regional product label is a key instrument for identifying locally produced products within a Community Driven Marketing Strategy.
Our online magazine provides research and convincing arguments as to why consumers, businesses, organizations and governments should support the 100 mile economy with tangible actions.

At Made in the Okanagan we believe that fair trade begins locally. We believe that by supporting our local goods and services we will strengthen families, neighborhoods and our environment. We’re seeking to change the economic landscape by increasing public awareness about the terms of trade for the products we buy and to ensure that local manufacturers, farmers and artisans are strengthened so that they can compete in a world dominated by outsourcing and globalization.
For consumers and businesses, it's about information. Made in the Okanagan is a way for all of us to identify products that meet our values so we can make choices that have a positive impact on where we live.
