NEFF supports LOCAL agriculture and promotes sustainable farming practices that raise great tasting, all natural foods.
Protect Land,
Build Community!
Eating LOCAL is the way to keep our family farms, communities and our
rural landscapes vital and healthy!
The Problem
*In New England, there were 3,347 FEWER FARMS and 144,203 FEWER ACRES OF FARMLAND in 2002 than 1997. American Farmland Trust 2002 Census
*EVERY single MINUTE of EVERY DAY, we LOSE TWO ACRES of farm and ranch land to development. http://www.farmland.org/programs/protection/default.asp
The Solution
*Make LOCAL food choices!
*Support farmers’ markets, Farm Stands, CSAs and markets that carry LOCAL! (check NEFF website for a list)
*When dining out ask, “What’s LOCAL?
