A food hub links regions’ producers to new markets and is “a centrally located facility with a business management structure facilitating the aggregation, storage, processing, distribution, and/or marketing of locally/regionally produced food products.” This is important because it provides jobs in rural areas, expands market opportunities for agricultural producers, and increases access of fresh healthy food for consumers.
Vegetables can be found closed to John Carroll at Brad’s produce at 550 Asbury. Poultry at Andy’s Eggs at 2601 Harford Road in Fallston, MD 21047, and Beef at Ruff's Chance farm at 2418 Thomas Run Road Bel Air, MD 21015.
I think that every Monday the cafeteria staff should go pick up fresh produce, poultry, and meet from the above places. I am sure they probably will be willing to make deliveries. Also, if we want fresh produce we can start a garden and begin to harvest our own fresh vegetables. This could really help increase the healthiness and quality of the meals served here at John Carroll.
