Local is always better!

Becky Benally

I already do via home delivery of fresh local produce from Farm2Friends! Customizable based on family size and frequency you desire.

Jennifer

FYI Farm2Friends is usually not local or organic. Watch out for "greenwashing"

Jon Krutsch

Depends on what is considered local. 50 miles, 100 miles, 1000 miles?

Justine Nicola Kingston

Fresh local food not only tastes better, but it supports our local farmers. No brainer.

Gabe West

Buy organic also

Local????? I see very few farms in C.O. growing produce unless you eat hay and alfalfa.

Jennifer

Open your eyes Bob. There are probably 50 farms in Central Oregon growing a full array of fruit & vegetables. And if you expand "local" to the Willamette Valley, literally everything is grown in Oregon.

If you can't find local grow food, meat and or produce, you're not looking. Lots of Great food grown here. Thank you Central Oregon Farmers.

No, and it doesn't require an explanation.

Randel Hearne

If people truly need assistance then they need to get the most out of it. Eating out at restaurants is not the way to do it.

Max

Thanks Randel, you explained what I insinuated.
