When you Buy SA. For SA. you’re not only getting incredible, fresh produce, you’re also supporting local growers like Mitolo Family Farms and Sundrop Farms. It's great to see supermarkets getting behind the #BuySAForSA message, making it easier for consumers to identify what's local. From vine-ripened juicy tomatoes grown in a world-class greenhouse in Port Augusta, to delicious creamy potatoes grown by a third-generation family business in The Riverland, next time you're out shopping, look for the State brand and Buy SA. For SA.#brandsouthaustralia #brandsa #buysandsupportlocal #saproduce

Farm to Table 🍎 Eat Local 🥕 I recently looked into the company Red Tomato, Inc. They understand the source of your food is a valuable.Their regional supply approach offers an array of benefits, including increased product diversity, higher quantities, and extended growing seasons, in contrast to exclusively hyper-local systems.Opting for regionally tailored cultivation methods, such as EcoCertified Fruit Program, as opposed to global standards, stands as a more environmentally responsible choice.Despite the substantial regional food supply, an astonishing 90% of food consumed in the Northeast originates from sources outside the region. Red Tomato, Inc. is helping to change all that. https://lnkd.in/ewuj8quC

Here’s a sneak peek at ripe coffee being picked (and the green cherries carefully left behind) at San Antonio Chicharras.#eraofwe #sustainablecoffee #handpickedcoffee #specialtycoffee
