Reclaiming Food


pic_carrots_090424

Most food travels an outrageous distance to get to supermarket shelves and your dinner plate. By actively searching for food produced closer to home you can support family farmers, contribute to the local economy, engage in your community, and lessen your carbon impact.  Plus, you’ll know where your food comes from and how it has been grown.

As eaters, we can all vote with our fork and use our dollars to support family farmers who continue to produce foods using socially responsible agricultural practices.  In the pages below, you will find ways to build a community food system, you can learn how to find food from good farms, and discover tips for shopping at the grocery store.
