Be a Local Food Advocate

Changing the food system takes all of us working together. Here are a few ways that YOU can be a local food hero!

Lead by example

Plan your menus around what is in season, preserve and store crops for winter, grow your own food.

Support the businesses that sell local food

Select the local option at the grocery store, order menu items prepared with local ingredients at restaurants, let businesses know you love their commitment to local food.

Give back

Offer your time and resources to make locally grown food more affordable and accessible to every member of our community.

Approach institutions

Schools, hospitals, and elder care centers all produce large quantities of meals each day. Future Roots facilitates food procurement agreements that emphasize local ingredients. If you are connected with an institution, connect them with us. We can help prioritize local food in their purchasing decisions.

Invest in local food

From CSAs to our impact fund, put your money to work in support of local food producers in our community.
