Description

Bringing together local food producers and you for a healthier mind, body, and planet. The closer you are to the source of your food the more nutrition in every bite. "In 2020, Mexico accounted for 77 percent of U.S. fresh vegetable import volume, and Canada represented 11 percent." According to the Economic Research Department of the USDA. The time it takes your food to travel costs you more than money, you pay for it in lost nutrition. There is no reason you cannot have high density nutrition in the food you love. All we need to do is buy local and eat local as much as possible. Come and meet the superstars of our local food network.
