Let’s talk about eating local—it doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing! 🌟
Eating local isn’t about replacing everything in your kitchen with local products. It’s about blending what you already have with what’s fresh and available nearby. Like this favorite snack in our house:
🍞 Store-bought white toast
🧈 Local butter from @mountainborncreamery
🧀 Store-bought cream cheese
🍑 @taggesfruit Brigham City Peach Jam (local and so good!)
🌱 Broccoli and radish microgreens from our farm
It’s simple, delicious, and a perfect example of how eating local can work for you. Start small, add local ingredients where you can, and celebrate the difference it makes in taste and connection to your community. Stop by our store and pick something local for your kitchen.
What’s your go-to local + store-bought snack? Let’s swap ideas!

🌎 Why Supporting Local Matters: The Hidden Cost of Mega Food Systems
Have you ever thought about where your food comes from? Behind the shelves of your grocery store or the menu at your favorite restaurant lies a system that’s heavily weighted against small, local farms.
Mega food systems—the large-scale, global operations that dominate food distribution—may seem convenient, but they come with significant consequences:
🔗 Small Farms Can’t Compete
Mega distributors set forced wholesale pricing so low that small farms, like those in your community, can’t survive.
Restaurants and grocers must commit to buying everything from these distributors to receive discount pricing, shutting out small, local suppliers.
📦 The Distribution Trap
Mega food systems require large minimum orders that small farms and local distributors can’t meet.
This practice forces local producers and distributors out of the market, leaving us with fewer choices and less connection to our food sources.
💔 What Does This Mean for You?
Fresher, more flavorful, and higher-quality foods from local farms rarely make it to your plate.
The economic benefits of keeping food dollars in the community—jobs, thriving businesses, and a stronger local economy—are lost.
But there’s hope. YOU can make a difference.
When you choose to buy local, you’re investing in:
🌱 Fresher Food: Locally grown produce and farm goods are harvested at peak ripeness, packed with nutrients and flavor.
🏘️ Community Resilience: Every dollar spent on local food strengthens local farmers, families, and businesses.
🌍 Sustainability: Local food systems reduce the carbon footprint by cutting down on transportation and waste.
Choose Local First.
