Vision for the future

Do you know where your food was grown or the farmer that grew it? Research on where we get our food shows that most food is grown about 1500 miles from your plate. Scientists studying locally grown food indicate that fruits and vegetables lose nutrients during the long journey to your local grocery store. The sooner you eat fruit and vegetable after it is picked, the more nutrients they provide. Local food isn’t transported long distances, which is also better for our environment.
