OUR FOOD SYSTEM
While eating with us, you’re creating change. Food brings people together to create and strengthens communities, first around the table, but also whole communities of farmers, growers, and makers around the country. We deserve to eat the best food we can, that is why we are creating our own food system, a better system. All our efforts and time are put into giving you the best experience possible, that is why, how our produce is sourced is so important to how we grow as a community.
The worrying part is that cheap food costs us more than we think. When purchasing cheap processed food that are made to seem value less and disposable, this lack of worth means we typically waste 20-50% of the food we buy. What’s more, better farmed, organic foods costs about 20-50% more than their industry ‘peers’.
This means that stopping to think about the food we really love, buying less but better quality, will satiate, satisfy, and bring pleasure without necessarily costing us a thing. Even by eating every part of a vegetable you are implementing a closed loop system.
Low prices show the neglect of people for the environment. When purchasing cheap food there is a hidden cost mainly because of pollution, soil and biodiversity loss and health impacts of the conventional food system. When we change our way of thinking, the real prices will start to become more affordable. The collective impact of our actions should not be underestimated.
