 Ways
to Support Local Agriculture and
Be an Active Participant in the Food Systems
1) Patronize Farm Markets: Farmers
are businessmen and women that sell directly
customers. Farm markets give you an opportunity
to talk directly to people who grow your food.
2) Join a CSA – Community Supported
Agriculture: These farms allow people
to buy shares in the farm harvest before crops
are planted. In “exchange” shareholders receive
fresh fruits and vegetables weekly throughout
the season.
3) Participate in a Community or School
Garden: The greater Columbus Foodshed
Project has established 15 gardens in the City
of Columbus. The gardens are “hands on”
experiences for families and youth in low-income
areas of the city to grow food and experience
the fruits of their labor, first hand.
4) Join a food Co-operative:
Co-ops consciously purchase products and produce
from local farmers for their customers. The
Clintonville Community Market Co-op serves our
area. They are dedicated to buying from the
growers and processors who use sustainable
methods.
5) Talk to your grocer and favorite
restaurant owners about the sources of their
products. Emphasize that you are interested
in eating food produced locally in sustainable
manner – chances are they will respond.
