🥬Someone recently pointed out that we have all of the same crops as their neighboring small vegetable farms... while we personally dream of growing mangos and pana, we live in New Jersey, and we pride ourselves on only selling what we can grow here, which will be similar to what your other farmers in NJ are growing...
💪🏽So we want to congratulate all of you folks out there who commit to eating locally and seasonally because it is TOTALLY hard. It means eating the same things for a period of time then doing without them for another period of time. It means giving up some things altogether and sharing the disappointments when the weather lets us down. Sometimes it means going out of your way to access your food because the supermarket isn’t buying local, then educating yourself on how to store, prepare, and preserve things you might not be familiar with at first.
🌱Why would anyone want to go through all of that? Because you care about the nutritional quality of your food, you care about not consuming toxins, you care about how the production of your food affects the land it is grown in and the other organisms that live there, you care that the production of your food doesn’t take advantage of other people, and you care that your money stays in your community.
🌾To be a farmer you have to be comfortable with being a little uncomfortable...to support a local, non-industrial, ethical food system, you have to be comfortable with changing the way you think about food.
✨We appreciate YOU, our seasonal eating warriors!
