more than “fair” food
Local Food Sustains
Fact: The average distance that food travels to
your plate is 1,500 miles.
Fact: Local diets consume 17 times less oil and
gas than typical diets based on food shipped
across the country.
By supporting local farmers now, you can help
ensure there will be farms in your community
in the future.
