More specifically is there a relationship between the purchasing decision of independently owned and operated restaurant owners buying local foods or not with respect to their demographics and entrepreneurial characteristics? A survey questionnaire was designed, developed, and implemented for independently owned and operated restaurant owners. The key variables used for this study were gender, number of full-time employees, business location, education, age, and customers' preference.

Findings showed that higher education, fewer full-time employees, older people were significant in determining if owners purchased locally grown or produced foods or not.
