In this week's edition of "the Hub and the huge frickin' produce!!!😂" its Kate's turn with this gorgeous Candy Onion 🧅🧅🧅!!!!
Sometimes it blows our minds the difference in quality; from size, flavor, color and beautiful aromas in our farm grown greens. 🌱🌱🌱
Our farmers use organic practices and are required to focus on the nutrient density of the soil for the food we bring to you!
Our veggies grow up to be big beefy fellas in really happy soil, and we love that for them!
This just means you gotta start lifting more weights to haul all these big ole veggies home! ✨🏋🏾‍♂️🫜🍠🧅🏋🏻‍♀️✨

We are not a grocery store. Here’s why. Grocery stores:

📉Demand constantly demand lower costs from their providers which ultimately cheapens food (fillers, additives, lower quality ingredients) in order to gain a profit

💸This impacts farmers and consumers directly: consumers get lower quality foods with great packaging and farmers only get an average of 14¢ for every dollar.

🏚️In these systems labor practices are ultimately abused because of the demand of lower costs.

We don’t want to be a grocery store. We want to:

🧑🏾‍🌾Support the farmers who grow the produce, raise the livestock and the people who produce the goods we use everyday: milk, cheese, canned goods, etc.

🥗Provide chemical-free, organically grown food to our community at fair prices.

🎯Reduce food waste through direct purchasing on our website while keeping some “grab-n-gos” on hand in store.

🪢Reconnect people to real food offering a true variety of items that you don’t or won’t see in store with an unmatched quality in flavor and flavor=nutrition.

We are Roots & Vine Food Hub in the village of Park Forest. We are run by a team of Southland residents dedicated to reconnecting community to real food & the folks putting it in on our plates. 🧡

Roots & Vine Food Hub is a nonprofit in Park Forest, IL connecting residents to local produce, pasture-raised proteins, and healthy food resources.

We’ve heard from a few folks that their initial impression about Roots & Vine Food Hub is that it’s too good to be true 💁🏽‍♀️

While that makes us 😌 a little bit, rest assured that it is very true.

The quality of the foods? Absolute 💯. Coming from local farmers? Also 💯.
Responsibly sourced from places that supply what we cannot? Also 💯.

Look, grocery store models demand lower costs all the way down the food chain and farmers 🧑🏾‍🌾👩🏻‍🌾 get the short end of the stick.

Because we’re a group of strong 💪🏻 dedicated ❤️‍🔥 folks 👥 and non-profit 💸,
our mission is to provide a HUB for the community where you can get not just great (and we mean GREAT) food but also connection, information and a nice place to hang out and chat.

We are learning 🧑🏻‍🏫 as we grow 📈 but one thing we do know is that we can’t do it without you! 🫵🏽

So, get on the website.. we’re open for ordering this week right now and support local, support your community Hub and support your own health and love of good food❣️Keep an eye out for classes and get back into community again!
