BUY LOCAL
Eat the freshest food in town. Support local farms selling sustainably grown
seasonal varieties of vegetables, herbs, eggs, and cut flowers.
Purchasing food from a local farm is not only a fun experience, it ensures:
- You are getting the healthiest food available with more nutrients than food that travels long distances
On average food travels 1300 miles from farm to table over 7 to 14 days
You are reducing your carbon foot print, by limiting transportation of your food, saving oil and reducing greenhouse gases
You are keeping your spending dollars local, helping to grow the Chattanoga economy
You are supporting fair farming practices by paying the farmer 100% of the food dollar
On average farmer's receive less than 10% of the food dollar
