If you read my story here you know that the farmers that grow your food are near and dear to my heart. I am the farmer's daughter, sister, granddaughter, and niece, and cousin. I grew up in a farm town and that is where my roots will always be.
I have often said and truly believe that if consumers knew the work it takes to get their food from a seed to the table then saying grace would take on an entirely new meaning. Here at Space Girl Organics I seek to make the lives of the people that feed us just a little bit easier. I take care of the logistics involved with moving food from farm to fork so our farmers can concentrate on what they love- farming.
Below is a list of some of the farmers that feed you.
