I discovered a few amazing American farms at the Natural Products Expo and wanted to share them. Supporting local farms is great—it often means fresher, more natural foods straight from the source. It’s something I want to do more of by finding local foods I can buy and support.
There are so many farms across the U.S., and I’m sure I missed some at the expo, but here’s what I found. I hope it inspires you to explore farms or ranches near you too—you might discover some real gems while connecting with your community.
