Organic Grown Direct Reviews has been following this trend carefully and it is their mission to review trends in the organic food industry and educate consumers about the latest moves to get fresh food directly to the public. The farm-to-table movement is a win-win for all involved. For the farmers it’s a chance to make some extra income doing what they love and for the public it’s a chance to get fresh food directly from the farm.
Farm-to-table operations are appealing to many because they know immediately where there food is coming from. One leader in the movement who opens her farm so that consumers can pick their own fruits and vegetables recently said, “We want to encourage our people to know where our food comes from because it’s coming from farther and farther away, from out of the country, and there are very few local farms left,” This ability to understand the food chain from seed to stomach has many flocking to the various food-to-table locations.
The movement centers around to ways to get fresh foods. First, consumers can visit one of the many markets where farmers bring their products directly to the farm for sale or they can visit the farms that have become part of the “U-Pick” movement. This means they open their farms to consumers who can walk around, find the most appealing food and pick it directly from the vine.
