you know we have a capacity in our country to receive produce from a lot of areas we can pull it in from Michigan we can pull it in from California and all over you know from coastal regions but I truly believe that investing in local is critical first by investing in family farms keeping those farms thriving we're actually investing in our community at large Anderson County here we are a strong agricultural community and I'm always surprised of how many children are not aware that they actually live across the street from a farm you'll get some very interesting answers when you ask children where food comes from my favorite one is where does chicken come from and the general answer is chick-fil-a we do provide that education that you know what's across the street here this is an apple farm and that's where apples come from they don't come from the grocery store they actually come from that farm and it opens up their eyes and they become more aware of what goes into the food chain how
