• Food Day!

    October 24, 2011 | 0 Comments


    Today marks the first annual Food Day! Sponsored by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Food Day seeks to bring together Americans from all walks of life—parents, teachers, and students; health professionals, community organizers, and local officials; chefs, school lunch providers, and eaters of all stripes—to push for healthy, affordable food produced in a sustainable, humane way. The supporters of Food Day have six principal goals:

    • Reduce diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods
    • Support sustainable farms & limit subsidies to big agribusiness
    • Expand access to food and alleviate hunger
    • Protect the environment & animals by reforming factory farms
    • Promote health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids
    • Support fair conditions for food and farm workers

    The Lansdale Farmers’ Market supports these goals and further wishes to inspire awareness and appreciation for FOOD! We encourage our customers to consider where their food comes from—who grows it, bakes it or prepares it and how? Our market is proud to have vendors who understand the need for sustainable practices in agriculture, a commitment to our community’s access to food and fair conditions for workers.

    So today, please celebrate food—fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy whole grains and support the local farms and farmers that produce them. Think more closely about the importance of feeding your family healthy food produced in a sustainable way. And share our passion for this cause by supporting the Lansdale Farmers’ Market….just two Saturdays left in the season!
