Seasonal Guides to Supporting Small Farmers
Every season brings new opportunities to connect with your food — and with the farmers who grow it. From spring strawberries to summer farm dinners, fall pumpkin patches to winter storage crops, small actions add up to big impact.
​
Did you know that agritourism, like corn mazes, makes up as much as 40% of a farm’s fall income, or that a Thanksgiving meal travels over 1,500 miles on average? Or that 95¢ of every dollar spent directly at a farm stays with the farmer?
​
