It’s been awesome to see the notes of encouragement flood in from you all to our partner farmers.
Every local item you add to your cart is a vote for farms and the people who are aiming to grow food in a way that’s sustainable for the planet and for their family.
As Michael from Georgia Organics said to FH customers,
“At the end of the day you’re fixing a broken system and you’re having fun doing it. That’s a pretty cool way to fight climate change, to address the economic disparity in rural Georgia, and to confront this power disparity that farmers are up against – by ending the day on a delicious meal with your family. “
In case you missed it… you can follow our progress on our 2018 goal to cast $1 million worth of votes on local food!
Thank you for showing up to the proverbial voting polls on a weekly basis. Your continued support is why we exist, and we are so grateful to be a part of fixing this system while having fun alongside you all!
