Contrary to the conventional market system, which is operating on a global scale and which encourages mass production of cheap food using more intensive farm management practices, the Harvest Moon Local Food Initiative is doing things differently. We are about building a local system where farmers can practice more sustainable practices and get a fair price for the higher quality food (and land) they are providing. Importantly, by building this local system, member farmers have eliminated the middle-people in the food chain who have been profiting exorbitantly on their labour for far too long. Instead, we want you to become the other main element of this local food chain. The Harvest Moon Local Food Initiative is about connecting farmers directly with eaters and establishing meaningful, long-term relationships, thereby creating healthier land, healthier food, healthier communities.
