Hi. This is Deb! This is my first post to an overdue blog site we've created to tell you about all the news about the local farms, artisans, and other contributors to our local and organic food sources. 

We Support local agriculture!
CT Farm Fresh Express supports local farms and agriculture and has for all of it’s 10 years of operation. Agriculture preserves land for food production now and in the future. Additionally, it provides a natural habitat for wildlife to live in. When you buy locally grown food products you do your part in lowering the environmental costs and impacts associated with the transportation of industrial farmed foods. According to the Worldwatch Institute, our food travels as much as 1,500 miles on average from farm to table, consuming far more energy from fuel than food energy delivered. This contributes to global warming and rising food prices due to soaring energy costs.

We help improve our environment while sustaining good health and supporting our local farms and businesses. Corporations only care about their shareholders. Not the environment, not their employees, not even the health and wellbeing of consumers and the planet...unless they get caught. Then they get a PR firm to make it look like they care and pay a fine that to is is huge but to them, like a parking ticket to us.
