Small, independent farms can encourage biodiversity by diversifying the landscape. Such diversity also reduces soil degradation, decreases agricultural run-off into rivers and streams, and provides habitat for wildlife.

About the "Buy Fresh, Buy Local" Chapter Program

Starting a Buy Fresh Buy Local Chapter can be approached in various ways, depending on the degree of interest in your community.

You can organize under a current local non-profit organization or start your own BFBL steering committee. Each of our current chapters has started in a number of ways. We are sure we can find the perfect model for you as we work together to establish your local chapter. The first step is to contact FoodRoutes and ask for a Local Chapter Application. We can help you get started and answer any questions you might have about starting a chapter.

Contact us at: info@foodroutes.org or send a note to our home office PO Box 55 Arnot, PA 16911
Or call 570-638-3608
