We make it easy to eat locally! Did you know you can essentially get a whole season's worth of veggies from our most distant farm (18 weeks at 150 miles per trip equals about 3000 miles) for about the same food miles as one trip of bananas or tomatoes from Mexico (one trip equals about 3000 miles)!
Everything you receive in the Local Choice Food Box has been grown by local farmers. And you still get to choose exactly the food you want from a wide selection of crops.
So why would you not eat locally when its possible?
Sure, eating locally means you can't have everything you want any time you want it. We can't grow you papaya, or get you watermelons in June. But there are hundreds of foods that can be grown right around Seattle for the better part of the year.
So let us bring you the foods you love that are locally available and be confident that what you eat is as fresh and environmentally friendly as it can be!
