- Choosing local produce benefits the small businesses and individual vendors in the community.
- Plant foods are for everyone - no matter what your dietary needs and preferences, eating plants is a good food goal.
Food ways that are honest, meaningful and sustainable
- Focus on people who sell local produce from small, community-managed agricultural systems and local forage
- Foods that exemplify cultural values and heritage
- Inherited knowledge, such as foods as medicine, rooted in ancient indigenous ways
- Astounding biodiversity = diverse regional flavors and recipes
