How Do Your Deliveries Make a Positive Impact?

Getting groceries from TC Farm supports local sustainable farmers and helps us tranform the local food sytem for the better.

Tough Stat: 8% of local farmers quit every year.

Most farmers are required to handle everything on their own: farming, marketing, storage, deliveries, customer service, technology, etc.). This lifestyle isn't sustainable for the farmer and makes it incredibly difficult for their farms to succeed. Learn more about why we need a new food system here.

2. You Improve Animal Welfare

TC Farm animals are raised on actual green pasture with 100% organic feed. We never use growth drugs and ensure that our animals are healthy and treated with respect. Beware misleading "grass fed" and "pasture raised" labels in the grocery store & co-op!

3. You Protect the Environment

Our rotational grazing methods put nutrients back into the soil and grow lush, resilient pastures that provide habitat for native plants and species. Healthy pastures act as a carbon-sink and absorb rainwater to help last through dry stretches.

Other ways that we protect the environment include: organic produce farms, reusing delivery materials, donating excess food, growing our own organic feed locally, and direct bulk transport from local farms.

Through our partner non-profit TC Feeds we are able to use the extra food grown by our local farmers and use it to feed local families facing hunger. By creating nourishing meals from scratch and connecting them to families in our community, we are supporting local farmers, alleviating local hunger and preventing food waste.
