🌱 Farm to Table and Everything In Between 🌾
The farm to table movement has been growing for years, and since its beginning, people have wondered if it's simply a passing fad or a new mainstay in the restaurant industry. Years later, farm to table is still going strong, so we can safely assume that it's here to stay.
Farm to table, also known as farm to fork, is a social movement where restaurants and home cooks source their ingredients from local farms, usually through direct acquisition from a farmer. Most traditional restaurants get their produce from other parts of the country or around the world. These ingredients need to be shipped long distances, and as a result, they are usually picked before they are ripe to lengthen their lifespan, or they are frozen to prevent spoiling.
All of this results in food that is bland, less nutritious and unsustainable.
Eating local is vastly beneficial for our health and our environment. Here are some of the benefits of eating local food:
- Provides more nutrients and flavor
- Increases food security
- Supports the local economy
- Reduces overall environmental impacts
