Farm-to-table (or farm-to-fork, and in some cases farm-to-school) is a social movement which promotes serving local food
at restaurants and school cafeterias, preferably through direct acquisition from the producer (which might be a winery,
brewery, ranch, fishery, or other type of food producer which is not strictly a "farm"). This might be accomplished by a
direct sales relationship, a community-supported agriculture arrangement, a farmer's market, a local distributor or by
the restaurant or school raising its own food. Farm-to-table often incorporates a form of food traceability (celebrated
as "knowing where your food comes from") where the origin of the food is identified to consumers. Often restaurants
cannot source all the food they need for dishes locally, so only some dishes or only some ingredients are labelled as
local.
