Level up to Hyper-Local

Times a’changing and folks are keener on eating local than ever before. Did you know that the food you eat travels close to 2,000 miles to get to you? And, that vegetables and fruits are nutrient powerhouses – when freshly harvested, the nutrients are locked in – but when they go…
