Stand Up For Local Food!

Americans are clamoring for affordable, locally produced food that’s better for our health and the environment (and tastier too!). A new bill that would make more organic and locally produced food available in our schools, grocery stores and restaurants has just been introduced! U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio)’s Local Farms, Food and Jobs Act aims to help local family farmers who use sustainable practices compete with bigger, better-financed agricultural conglomerates.

This bill will face a tough fight. Tell Congress that you and your family want more healthy, local food today!
