There are so many things to think about when it comes to the food we’re eating, it’s not surprising that so many of us get so lost…
Calories, Cost, Colour, Kieto…
Then there's simply knowing what to do with it and making sure it turns up in your kitchen without you having to think!
But there’s one thing that trumps all when it comes to food and it’s local, but not just any local YFC local!
Local means:
- Your food is jam packed with nutrients.
-
Full of flavour because it was picked when it was ripe not months before so it could travel
-
Grown with love by sustainable by farmers in your community
At YFC we’ve taken local one step further because we know your looking for more than just food, your looking for authenticity, convenience and change!
By shopping YFC local you’re
-
Supporting small sustainable farms – annually Australia loses more than 20% of its family farms, at YFC we’re giving family farms a future!
-
Reducing your green house gas emissions by up to 85% - yep it’s that simple. We’re connecting you to local producers within in 200km of your front door, not a long haul flight away!
-
Reducing food waste by at least 50%- Thirty percent of food waste happens in the paddock before food even reaches your plate because it’s the “wrong” size. A YFC we judge our food on flavour not shape. Because food isn’t meant to be standard!
-
Reduce your plastic consumption by up to 95% - we’re focused on the future and work closely with our producers to build a zero waste food system from the paddock to your plate.
-
Getting the freshest food possible – by shopping online it means that your food is picked to order, yep that’s right every head of lettuce is pre-sold before it leaves the patch.
-
Fuelling up on food full of nutrients – from the minute a vegetable is picked it starts to lose nutrients, so by getting it when it’s fresh, it’s still full of nutrients!
-
Choosing to pay producers fairly for the food they grow, sounds simple but it’s not. At YFC producers get paid up to four times the amount they would with major supermarket chains!
So as you can see there are so many reasons why local is king when it comes to food. So go on I dare you, start a new habit today and make it stick because YFC local gives back in more ways than you can think!
