Farm To Fable

Fred Hempel · February 19, 2018

A chef stopped by our farm today. He wanted to see where the great chicories and gem lettuce he had been buying were grown.

The problem is, we have not grown chicories or gem lettuce in over 9 years. Our farm's name is being used by a huge produce seller as a way to market "Small" and "Local" produce.

I had this company remove information about our farm 3 years ago, and I am out of my mind to find that we are now, again on their website fraudulently bolstering their "Small" and "Local" product credentials.

Here is the whole story, including the name of the company, in a Facebook post (see the pinned post). I don't want to post the name here because once they remove us from their website I will take the Facebook post down.

Here, also is a link to a great expose in the Farm To Fable trend...
