Support our Local
Farms and Local Economy
by Jay Treetop
We, at Nightfire
Natural Foods, support local and sustainable agricultural practices. We have
marked each locally and sustainably produced item in our store with a “Buy
Local” tag. This helps you, the customer, identify these products, so that
you too can support local and sustainable agriculture practices!
What is LOCAL to Nightfire?
When we say 'local' we mean products that are grown, made, produced, and
available here in the State of Jefferson--Southern Oregon, Northern
California--and the Pacific Northwest.
What is SUSTAINABLE to Nightfire?
When we say 'sustainable' we're referring to the method in which the product
is made. Sustainable agriculture, for instance, does not support the use of
pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides; it also does not use genetically
altered seeds for its crops. Sustainable-minded ranchers do not use
hormones, and antibiotics while caring for their animals. Also, they never
keep them caged, bound, or gagged!! In general, there seems to be no
difference between sustainable agriculture, and organic agriculture, other
than the paperwork.
By purchasing a "Buy Local" tag at Nightfire Natural Foods, you too are
making a difference towards supporting our local and sustainable
agriculture!
