Locally grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24
hours of being harvested. Produce picked and eaten at the height of ripeness
has exceptional flavor and, when handled properly, is packed with nutrients.
FoodRoutes Network collaborates with organizations to promote local, state, and regional food system initiatives and to create replicable, cost-effective models that can be disseminated to a wide range of audiences. Evaluating the impacts of initiatives and sharing lessons learned is an integral part of this model-building process. Find out more about these collaborative initiatives below.
