About The Locavore & Local Food Club (LFC):
At The Locavore, we are on a relentless mission to expand the boundaries of positive impact through food. The Local Food Club (LFC) initiative is at the heart of this vision—a growing, nationwide network of community-led gatherings that celebrate regional food traditions, spark conversations, and inspire collective action.

Led by passionate food lovers, LFC brings people together across India to share meals, tell stories, and build relationships around what truly nourishes us. Each club meets once a month, is free of charge and open to all, and offers a welcoming space to connect, eat together, and take action for a more sustainable future.

With over 4,000 members and 40 active locations (and growing), LFC is expanding faster than ever. Our aim is to open new clubs thoughtfully and sustainably, while strengthening existing ones and ensuring that members have the tools, structure, and connections to thrive. In doing so, we’re building a vibrant, inclusive community of people who believe in doing good through food.
