"At the start of this year, we were busier than we had ever been...and all of a sudden [COVID] happened, and we have had to stop everything, look at where we are at, and...so, we have been shuffling and trying to find out how people are getting food, what they are eating, and how we can make that path easiest."

Kris Gosar of Gosar meats, during his interview with Liza Marron on the April 16th episode of the Local Food, Local Places radio show, pointed out the growth in demand for local foods. During this crisis, the path from farm to plate has changed. The SLV community is pulling together to ensure we can provide for our own.

By consistently growing and sharing food in our local markets, we lift all boats. The local network is growing, and we want to be a part of this thriving opportunity!

COVID-19 made the importance of local food/farmers more apparent to me. I also really wanted to avoid going into the grocery stores so I started utilizing Valley Roots Food Hub more!

"Consider, for a moment, that lettuce leaf on your plate. It probably traveled a long way to get there—about 1,500 miles, on average."

How far does your salad travel?

We live in a highly productive agricultural region, but how much of this food makes its way on to the plates of local eaters? When a region produces food that goes elsewhere, what are the residents left with?

The SLVLFC is part of a network of organizations and businesses dedicated to bringing good food directly to the community. While there is a lot of access in high-production months, we know all too well that local greens are hard to come by in the wintertime.

Instead of purchasing lettuce grown here, shipped elsewhere, and brought back into the Valley, imagine purchasing greens harvested just yesterday, and supporting the ongoing community programs the Farm Park provides all year round.

Your vote for this system goes five times as far when you donate to our greenhouse crowdfunding campaign: riograndefarmpark.org/greenhouse-build/ ... See MoreSee Less
