Why Local?Most food is grown on large corporate farms that use GMOs, pesticides, antibiotics and hormones. CAFO livestock is raised in inhumane and unhealthy conditions. Produce is picked before it is ripe and travels an average of 1500 miles to sale, using significant fossil fuel. Eating locally means less pollution, healthier, high nutrient food, and a fair-trade, local economy.
The Products
We obtain delicious fresh, primarily seasonal food from local farms that use sustainable and organic practices. We then get to eat the most antibiotic-free, hormone-free, GMO-free, and chemical-free food available. We know which farms our food comes from. We eat better, support local farms instead of agri-business and raise our son with a connection to the source of his nourishment. Our food tastes great and we repair the contemporary disconnect between food & its origins.
