Farm-to-table IN COWETA
A
s the farm-to-table to trend is becoming more popular, Cowetan farmers are helping locals eat more locally grown food. A study conducted by the National Gardening Association shows that food gardening is becoming more and more popular. The “grow your own” movement has
gained so much momentum that Americans spent as much as $3.5 billion on their seeds, potting soil, vegetable starts and other foodgrowing supplies in 2013 – far more than any previous year since the organization began tracking food gardening separately from other types of horticulture. One in three American households now grows a portion of the food it consumes.
