A Farmer's Perspective

Dreams of Better Farms, Food & Health

Tis the season when we add a number of new items to our offerings – all in an effort to help you reduce the number of trips you make to the the supermarket. If we all shift budget dollars away from the supermarket and mass food system and towards food that’s grown locally, it supports products that are good for our health, provides a living wage for the people who create these foods, and encourages sustainable farming practices. Your purchases can revitalize local and regional farms and food producers!

A Breakthrough Year

What a wonderfully productive year of learning it has been. I have all of you to thank for that.

We started the year with a hard question: whether Farmers To You could become economically, socially and personally sustainable. We reached out to all of you and told you what we needed — and you stepped up! So here we are.

Missing What Was Missing

Some of my fondest memories are food shopping with my grandfather in Lynn Massachusetts going from one small trusted grocer, Blatsos’ Fruit, to another.  Many of us never experienced that – and those of us who did miss that relationship now.

The Art and Value of Milk

This week we made a couple of changes to the price of milk. First, we removed the bottle deposit from the Strafford milk price you see on the website. Deposits will now be displayed along with your order totals as a separate item. Second, we made a small increase in the price of the milk for both Strafford and Kimball Brook.

Community That Works

I am completely amazed at what our community is capable of!
