Farm to Table
Connecting local farms directly to consumers, reducing waste and supporting sustainable agriculture while providing fresh, nutritious food at affordable prices.
What is Farm to Table?
Shortening the Food Supply Chain
Farm to table is about creating direct connections between farmers and consumers, eliminating unnecessary middlemen and reducing food waste.
Traditional Food System
In the traditional food system, produce travels through multiple intermediaries before reaching consumers. This lengthy supply chain leads to:
- Higher food waste (30-40% of produce)
- Increased transportation emissions
- Less fresh food for consumers
- Lower profits for farmers
