Hard Facts

The number of U.S. farms has been steadily declining since the 1970s, according to the USDA, due to various economic, environmental, and social factors. Meanwhile, larger, industrialized agricultural operations continue to dominate the landscape and our grocery store shelves, despite their reliance on chemicals, pollution, and the nutrient loss associated with monocrops and pesticide use. The impact on agro-tourism, pollinators, soil health, and the tragic erosion of skills and food sovereignty being passed down through generations is also profound. As FB.org highlighted: “Between 2017 and 2022, the number of U.S. farms dropped by 141,733, or 7%, according to the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Acres operated by farms also declined by 20.1 million, an area the size of Maine. Only 1.88% of acres and 1% of farm operations were classified under non-family corporate farm structures.”

We simply cannot afford to lose more of these hardworking, Earth-connected wisdom keepers or the landscapes they nurture. By choosing to shop at these local farm stores, you’re not only nourishing your body with wholesome, delicious food—you’re making a conscious commitment to support a healthier, more sustainable future for us all. Thank you for being part of the solution!

See you at the farm!
