In today’s globalized food system, it’s become harder than ever to trace the journey of our meals. That strawberry in your supermarket may have traveled over 1,000 miles, treated with preservatives to keep it looking fresh. The spinach in your salad? It could have passed through multiple warehouses before hitting the shelf, losing nutrients along the way.
This disconnect leaves many of us wondering: Do I really know where my food comes from—and how it was grown?
The Problem with Industrialized Food
Mass-produced food often prioritizes shelf life and profit over nutrition and transparency. Long supply chains mean:
Unknown farming practices – Were pesticides used? Were workers treated fairly?
Reduced freshness and flavor – Produce picked weeks early loses taste and vital nutrients.
Environmental costs – Long-distance shipping increases carbon emissions.
The Local Organic Difference
Small farms like Farmsustaina, right here in Cary, NC, offer a better way. As a family-run urban farm, we’re dedicated to:
Growing safe, healthy food – No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs, just real, clean produce.
