During this growing LOCAVORE movement many Americans are purchasing more of their food locally as a way of opting out of the traditional commercial food system.
Local food is food that is grown within a reasonable distance from where it is eaten.
Today, many local food consumers are making a commitment to purchase food that encourages social, economic and environmental sustainability. Buying locally reduces the number of "food miles" between farmer and plate, and helps to keep agricultural profits in the local economy.
The Foodshed Alliance is proud to offer their Virtual Farmers' Market
Clubs, where you can get fresh, locally grown food for your family and not sacrifice the convenience of the grocery store "one stop shopping". One of the basic values and advantages of a food virtual farmers' market is the convenience. Many consumers would love to commit to buying local, farm fresh food, if these foods were easier to acquire.
Food fresh from the field is what we all seek and a local food buying club is the way you can get healthy and tasty food for your family while also contributing to building a locally resilient food economy!
