We like to stay close enough to shake hands with the farmers that provide our market with food, which in turn, brings you closer to the food you eat.
The USDA defines “local food” as anything that can be found within a 400-mile radius. We don’t believe that is local enough! Ellwood Thompson’s works within a 100-mile radius from our grocery store location. That means our local produce is grown, harvested, and raised inside of that 100-mile radius. Our locally produced cheese and milk? They fall under the same standards. We really do work within our community to bring you fresh food from farmers that work close to home.
