Win free groceries for a year

Yeah, that title caught our attention, too; and it is catching the eye of consumers in states like Michigan and Ohio. That’s because in collaboration with The Center for Food Integrity, consumers from those states and in others who engage in conversation with a real farmer on the Farmers Feed Us website are entered to win free groceries for a year — courtesy of many of the state’s farm groups. It’s a great idea, we think, because it puts a local face to the food consumers are eating every day. Right now, the program is only in effect in some states. That’s because money needs to be raised to make the project happen. Right now, a project is in the works in Indiana, Missouri, and Iowa. There are also groups in Wisconsin that are working towards another program here.
Several local farmers allow consumers to get to know them and their farm. The farmers represent many areas of agriculture, including dairy, lamb, beef, egg, vegetables, pork, apples, corn, and soybeans. To sign up, you must visit the website and learn about one type of farmer. From there you can take a tour of the farm and read about the farm family. To increase your odds in winning, you can learn more about other farmers. To learn more about the site, visit it for yourself!
