Backing Farmers Matters
Eating Healthier Starts Here
Supporting local farmers has numerous benefits for our communities, environment, and individual consumers, making it an important choice for those who care about the food they eat and the impact it has on their surroundings.
Mountain Medicine of Warm Springs have worked with and continue to support dozens of hardworking farmers and the healthy crops they produce and deliver to our local communities.
From The Soil to Your Soul
Supporting local farmers has many benefits
- Economic Vitality: Supporting local farmers contributes to the economic vitality of the community, generating employment opportunities and encouraging entrepreneurship.
- Freshness and Quality: Locally sourced produce is often fresher and of higher quality due to shorter transportation distances, reducing the risk of contamination and spoilage.
- Environmental Sustainability: Local farming practices tend to be more sustainable, with reduced carbon footprint, less packaging waste, and preservation of biodiversity.
- Food Security: Supporting local farmers enhances food security by diversifying the local food supply, reducing dependence on distant producers, and providing a safety net during times of crisis.
- Preservation of Agricultural Heritage: Local farmers often inherit traditional knowledge and techniques, preserving the collective agricultural heritage and ensuring its continuation for future generations.
- Community Connection: Buying from local farmers strengthens community ties, allowing consumers to connect with the people who grow their food and fostering a sense of community.
- Transparency and Accountability: Local farmers are more accountable for their practices, making it easier to address concerns or issues that may arise, and providing greater transparency in food origin and handling.
- Supporting Small-Scale Agriculture: By choosing local farmers, consumers support small-scale agriculture, which is essential for maintaining rural livelihoods and preserving agricultural diversity.
