We often tell you that sourcing your food from Farmers To You is for all the right reasons – but there are so many right reasons we wanted to let you know the ones that get us out of bed and hard to work each day.
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!
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.
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.
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.
