the internet farm shop -
supporting local farm shops and artisan
producers!
Fresh food grown in
your local area was probably picked within the last
day or two. As a result it's always fresh, and
packed with flavour. Studies have shown that the
average distance food travels from farm to plate is
1,500 miles. In a week-long (or more) delay from
harvest to dinner table, sugars turn to starches,
plant cells shrink, and produce loses its vitality.
Locally grown food, purchased soon after harvest, retains its
nutrients and flavour for you and your body to benefit.
