FACT Sourcing from local food suppliers uses one-tenth to a quarter of the fuel consumed by typical large-scale food distribution.

Look for organic farms near your tour stops, check out the local farmers markets, or shop at local grocers when possible.

Local Harvest | Find farmers' markets, family farms, and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area. Search by zip code or product.

FACT Every year, each American throws out about 1,200 pounds of organic garbage that could be composted.
