Farm-to-Door Produce and Ranch Products Available Year-Round
Life in California's North State region requires residents to employ the most resolute time management programs to get business done and dinner on the table. The region's nearly 120,000 residents are scattered to the winds from Shasta Lake City to Palo Cedro to Shingletown, Cottonwood, Ono and Igo.Shopping options in Redding's outlying communities are sparse, thus residents must manage their time to accommodate forays to Redding and Anderson where chain grocers such as Safeway, Raley's and locally owned Holiday Market offer a wide range of household staples and organic imports. Unlike locally farmed goods, these organic selections are typically shipped hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of miles from growers that tiptoe through "organic farming" legislation to cash in on the popularity of the organic food movement.
Small local growers have worked hard to pull together and stand their ground by forming groups such as the Shasta Grower's Association, which ensures that members adhere to the "authentic" food regulations of sustainable farming and organic management practices. But how could these banded growers turn all that green into gold? Enter organic produce delivery!
