About
Our mission is to reconnect communities with Real, Good Food.
…preparing food from local whole ingredients, making fresh food accessible and affordable to all, and offering a ‘community table’ that connects families to local farmers and teaches kids the roots of real food.
At Sarah Cecilia’s Good Food Company, we…
- Inspire people to eat locally
- Create awareness of the connection between food, our health and the earth
- Increase fresh and local food access across all income levels and backgrounds
- Teach people that local, wholesome food does not have to be expensive or complicated – it isn’t just a luxury for people with lots of time and money!
To us, “Good Food” is minimally processed, minimally traveled, humanely raised, naturally grown (without chemicals) and fairly traded. We work to promote the understanding that there is a connection between our soil, the food it produces, our physical and mental well-being and the wellness of our planet.
We believe that there should be more equality in food access, across all income and socio-economic levels, because “good eating” should not be a luxury or a trend.
Why local, organic and sustainable?
- The majority of the money spent on grocery-store food goes to suppliers, processors, middlemen and marketers. Only 3.5 cents of each dollar actually goes to the farmer. If you buy food from a farmers market or farm stand, you can be sure that most, if not all, of your money is going directly to the farmer. Farmers markets enable farmers to keep 80 to 90 cents of each dollar spent by the consumer.
- A 22-year study conducted by the Rodale Institute determined that organic farming operations use 30% less energy than conventional farms.
- According to new research released at the Soil Association’s annual conference, organically reared cows, which eat high levels of fresh grass, clover pasture and grass clover silage, produced milk which is on average 50% higher in Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), 75% higher in beta carotene (which our bodies convert to Vitamin A) and two to three times higher in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthine than non-organic milk.
