How Young Adults Can Change the Food System

Do you want to do something that makes a difference every single day? Something that you can do no matter what career you have or what kind of activities you engage in? Do you want your life choices to positively affect your communities AND your region's environment? 

Choose to EAT LOCAL by supporting local farms. Buy from us directly by subscribing to a veggie and fruit subscription, buying your eggs, dairy and meat from farmers. Support us by buying local at grocery stores and attending farmers markets regularly. Eat at restaurants that source from local growers. Growing a garden? Buy your seedlings from local farmers.

Shifting SOME of your weekly food budget to local farmers makes a HUGE difference. It's the compound effect. 

We ALL have to eat every day, and the power of your choice to eat locally even for some of those ingredients, some of those meals GREATLY impacts the ability of farmers like me to stay in business, to keep land in agriculture. Organic farms like Moon Valley Farm are stewarding the land responsibly to feed our communities, to preserve farmland, to employ passionate farmers, to remediate and regenerate our soils and to promote clean water in our streams, rivers and Chesapeake Bay. We simply cannot do any of that without customers. Shifting *some* of your food budget to local farmers will taste INCREDIBLE and make you feel like you're making a difference -- because you are.
