St. J ALFA’s mission is to strengthen our regional food system and increase food sustainability and security, so that all community members have access to affordable, healthy, locally produced food.

Why Local Food?

  • Support local farmers and businesses
  • Keep your money in the community
  • Keep land in agricultural use
  • Fresher food, resulting in higher nutrient levels and better taste
  • Less fuel used for transport, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint (it takes a lot of diesel to drive a refrigerated truck to Vermont from California!)
  • Knowing your source: by meeting the farmer who grows your food, you can find out exactly how it was produced and be more confident in its quality
