During the COVID crisis, the industrial food system's supply chains faltered badly, prompting a large number of consumers to turn to local farmers for their food staples. A lot of people became converts to the benefits of locally farmed food in creating a healthier, more sustainable, more humane and fairer food systems. Yet at the same time, many others returned to their conventional shopping habits as supplies rose and prices fell. We are entering another cycle in which local farmers are on the spot to come to the rescue of consumers as food staples — led by eggs — are in shorter supply. Again, local farmers stand ready to help... but they need ongoing support and commerce in order to expand the supply of food that is healthier, and produced with more sustainable, humane and fair practices. This Local Food Forum article shares an important message on this topic from friends at Tulip Tree Gardens in Beecher, Illinois, who also own the Village Farmstand e-commerce aggregator of products from numerous local producers.

Last fiscal year, we distributed nearly 6 million pounds of nutritious food provided by The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)! The Food Bank and other Feeding America partners across the country rely on this program to help keep up with the rising need for food assistance and food costs. Through TEFAP, the USDA purchases fruits, vegetables, and other staples from U.S. growers and producers so that organizations like ours can distribute this food to people in need. Be an advocate this #HungerActionMonth! Learn more about the #FarmBill and tell Congress to strengthen TEFAP at bit.ly/farm-bill-action.

🥕🚨 Did you hear about the latest E. Coli outbreak? The nationwide outbreak, which sickened dozens and killed one, originated from one industrial farm, Grimmway Farms. Carrots currently on store shelves are unlikely to be affected by the recall, but those in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers may be. This is reason #7937 to shop locally! A short food supply chain is a safe food supply chain. When you purchase food grown, raised, and made by people you know, you can ask the farmers what they to keep their food safe, something you can't do supermarket.
