Our Story
Local Manna was born in February 2024, in Lincolnton, North Carolina. Founded by Megan Barry, a US Navy Veteran, our mission is simple: to connect you with the freshest, most delicious local food & goods while fostering a stronger community with complete food supply chain transparency.
Inspired by a personal journey towards healthier eating & healthier lifestyle, Megan recognized the need for a convenient way for communities to access high-quality, locally-sourced, farm-fresh food & goods. Local Manna is the solution. We partner with family-owned farms & small businesses throughout the Greater Charlotte area, encompassing select parts of Catawba, Gaston, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg counties. Ultimately, Local Manna aims to become America's national solution to the food supply chain.
Transparent Supply Chain
We believe in knowing where your food comes from. That's why we prioritize complete transparency in our supply chain. Through our online platform, you can easily access information about our partner farms and producers, their sustainable practices, and the journey of your food from farm to table.

Our user-friendly online platform allows you to browse a wide selection of local farm-fresh products, choose your delivery window, and have everything delivered straight to your door. It's convenient, healthy, and good for the environment – a win-win for everyone.
The Name Local Manna
The name Local Manna reflects our core values. "Local" signifies our commitment to everything local: our vendors (family-owned farms and small businesses), the production location of our products, and even our delivery personnel – we call them Local Manna "Neighbors" instead of just delivery drivers or shoppers. We believe in keeping things local, ensuring the freshest produce and supporting our community.
"Manna" is a Biblical term referring to the miraculous food God provided for the Israelites during their wanderings in the wilderness. It represents nourishment and sustenance. Local Manna embodies this spirit, aiming to provide our community with the highest quality, locally-sourced food that nourishes your body and strengthens your connection to your neighbors.
The Future of Local Food
Local Manna is on a mission to grow. We envision a future where communities across the country can experience the same benefits we enjoy. In the coming years, we plan to expand our reach and become a national leader in local food delivery. But one thing will always remain constant: our commitment to quality, sustainability, community, and complete food supply chain transparency.
Join us on this journey! Choose Local Manna and taste the difference that fresh, local food can make. Together, let's cultivate a healthier you and a more vibrant community.
