Old "Supermarket" Food

- Harvested Fresh - Most items are harvested only hours before
you receive them. That's Fresh food!
- Some days some items on farm pick ups may be only minutes
Fresh of harvest
Now that's really Fresh food!
We call this Fresh Food
|
Fresh vs. Old

- Harvested When? Weeks, maybe days ago
- Harvested, packed, loaded, stored in a warehouse, loaded,
transported, unloaded, stored in a warehouse, loaded,
transported, unloaded, stored in a warehouse, finally
culled, prepared, displayed and labeled Fresh.
NOT! That's not Fresh!
This is Old Food

Other comparisons
|
- You are rarely offered food hours fresh off the vine at the
supermarket
- picked under-ripe for transporting
- harvested before peak life-energy
- nutritionally underdeveloped
|
- The healthiest food is biodynamically
grown food, harvested peak ripe
|
|
- How many food recalls are you going to endure? Contaminated
food, tainted, mislabeled, etc., ...
|
- Many unique and some common varieties, grown for their
flavor or texture, or specifically the higher health packed
nutritional content of varieties not offered at supermarkets.
|
|
- Varieties grown for supermarkets are selected for uniform look
and durability to survive handling and shipping and still look
great on the shelf for a day or two until you buy it
|
- Tender heirloom varieties do not transport well.. Fresh
natural food full of whole-earth life-energy. Naturally
grown beyond organic standards. We seek
to provide the healthiest food possible
|
|
- Many varieties are often tough and tasteless but they look
like "great stuff, for not a lotta money"! when you
hear this enough you believe it tastes like great stuff (Yes!
great stuff - not great food)
|
- Members living near or driving by one of our farms stop in and
pick up shares of food, no extra petroleum products are used to
transport the old food to you. This cuts our dependency on Oil.
|
|
- How many tons of hydro carbons are you
going to allow be pumped into the earth atmosphere for corporate
profit to transport OLD FOOD to our tables.
|
- Money spent on fuel to pickup or deliver food will be spent in
your local economy.
|
|
- Only a small percentage of the transportation cost is put into
your local economy
|
- Step vans, pickup trucks or your car, deliver or conveniently
pickup your Fresh food. Small vehicles distributing Fresh
food in local networks. Transportation costs remain in the local
economy
|
|
- Huge trucks and trains and ships pour tons of pollution into
our earths atmosphere to bring you old food, "great stuff,
for not a lotta money". And you still have to drive to pick
it up.
