We believe in having a personal relationship with our local farmers, ranchers, fishers cheese makers, brewers, vintners coffee roasters and manufacturers. To us, buying and eating local is more than just a business model. It’s a passion and a way of life.
We're proud of our partnerships with our local farmers. Our new private label, Pacific Village, will help strengthen Pacific Northwest family farms while encouraging more sustainable agricultural practices. So far our private label includes entirely Home Grown organic butter, organic milk, natural pork, free-range chicken, natural beef and organic buffalo.
"We're actually increasing the number of acres farmed in Oregon, Washington and Northern California," says New Seasons Market President Lisa Sedlar.
Our local partnerships make it easy to support the farmers, ranchers, fishers, vintners, brewers cheese makers and manufacturers who make up our regional food system. Our Home Grown products are grown, caught or produced in Oregon, Washington, or Northern California.
Vote With Your Dollars - Buy Home Grown and Help Support Our Local Food Economy
You'll eat fresher and better tasting food. Home Grown produce was likely harvested in the last couple of days.
You'll help protect our environment. The average distance food travels from farm to plate is 1,500 miles. Home Grown food doesn't have to go as far. This reduces carbon dioxide emissions and other negative aspects of our fossil fuel transportation system.
You'll re-establish the time honored relationship between the farmer and the eater.
You'll support smaller farms that are more likely to use sustainable agricultural practices.
You'll help build our regional food economy, ensuring there will be farms in our community and protecting our food security for years to come.
Look for the Home Grown logo and the yellow shelf tags.
