Food Waste


After talking with many of our subscribers this year, we've heard some of you can't finish all the food and it feels wasteful.

We sent out a letter to our subscribers on this topic. It can be read here:
Letter about food waste

In summary though:
In the normal food system 52% of all vegetable produce is wasted going from
the fields, to a distributor, to a supermarket, to your refrigerator, to your fork.
See:  http://www.nrdc.org/food/files/wasted-food-IP.pdf
or:  here

At Ananda Valley Farm we waste virtually none of the produce we grow, it all either goes to our subscribers, used by volunteers, or is donated to charities.

So even if you are not able to use up to 1/2 of your box, it is still wasting less than purchasing food through a supermarket.

Joyful Cheers,
AVF Team
