Food Facts
Food travels 1500 – 2500 miles on average to reach your plate.
Since 1935, the U.S. has lost 4.7 million farms. Fewer than one million Americans now claim farming as a primary occupation.
U.S. organic food sales have grown between 17 and 21 percent each year since 1997
Top 3 Reasons to Buy Local
Economic: 80% of a dollar spent in your community actually stays in the community instead of a mere 20%
Nutritious: Locally grown foods are fresher and retain higher levels of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals.
Social: Knowing who grows your food enriches your connection to the community.
