The ASAN
Birmingham Food & Farm
Guide
We believe that Alabama families deserve really good, freshly farmed local food, whether purchased directly from farms or eaten at a restaurant. To that end, we offer this series of Food and Farm Guides, which highlights the farms and growers of Alabama, as well as the resturants serving local produce. In addition to the great taste and the satisfaction of knowing your food comes from, locally grown food offers health benefits over the highly processed and conveniently fast foods that have been shown to contribute to the near epidemic of obesity we are seeing, especially in Alabama’s precious children. When you purchase standard supermarket or fast food fare, you send your money out of the community and out of the state. When you choose to buy locally grown meats and produce, you support local employment and local businesses of all kinds, while enhancing the governmental tax base. Not all food from sources listed in this guide are strictly or certifiably “organic,” but all meet strict standards of quality and safety. The guide does indicate which farms and restaurants offer USDA certified organic or Certified Naturally Grown™ food.
ASAN: Healthy Farms, Healthy Foods, Healthy Communities!
ASAN loves Alabama agriculture!
