you chose: environmental impact

Shopping with us and supporting local farms has a huge positive environmental impact. There are many benefits, but here are a few:

• Reduced food miles equals less fuel consumption and a lower carbon footprint
• Less packaging is needed to protect food that is traveling short distances
• Sustainable and regenerative farming practices use no pesticides and rotate crops, promoting soil health and biodiversity
• Food is harvested seasonally, reducing food waste and environmental cost of importing out of season foods
• Reduces dependency on large industrial supply chains that negatively impact the environment

While the vast majority our food is sourced regionally from New England, we love supporting these local farms that have stepped it up to fight negative environmental impact. Learn more about them here.
