Our mission remains unchanged after a decade of fermenting. Sometimes we slow down just enough to recenter on a big part of the why we do what we do.
When you eat local, you’re doing more than buying food. You’re helping build a stronger community.
* You support local farmers. Your purchases help create a market for the people who grow our food.
* You support local food makers. Small processors, bakers, fermenters, and other food businesses can keep making food right here in our communities.
* You keep more money close to home. Local purchases help dollars circulate through local businesses, workers, and families.
* You support local jobs. From farms and food production to trucking, retail, and restaurants, local food creates work for people in our communities.
* You strengthen local businesses. When local food businesses succeed, they can grow, hire, invest, and continue serving the community.
* You help preserve farmland. A strong local food economy creates more opportunities for farmers to keep land producing food.
* You help build a more resilient food system. The more food we can grow, make, store, and distribute closer to home, the less dependent we are on distant supply chains. This last month we brought in and processed more than 4500 pounds of cabbage via our partner the Puget Sound Food Hub. You continue to support us in our ability to support local farms - so thank you!!!
* You keep food traditions alive. Local food businesses preserve recipes, skills, and traditions that can otherwise disappear. Keep the craft and artistry of all your neighbors alive however you can.
* You give small businesses a chance to grow. Every purchase helps demonstrate that there is a place in the market for locally made food.
* You know where your food comes from. Buying local makes the connection between the people who grow, make, sell, and eat our food a little closer. We are always available to chat at our local farmers market;)
Local food is more than a purchase.
It’s an investment in the farmers, workers, businesses, and communities that make up our local food system.
We are continually honored to be a part of this food community! Thank you!
