Grow Tomatoes - Growing Your Own Food is the Way of the Future
Growing tomatoes isn't just about saving food miles - its also about reconnecting with the Earth.
Reasons to plant locally and reduce food miles:
- Gives local farmers and rural economies a fighting chance
- Mass farming depends of fossil fuels, depletes soils, and poisons waterways
- Long-hauled food loses vitamins and is exposed to contaminants
- Easier to avoid salmonella, e. coli, and other hazards
