Destiny Organics Box Program is a system that connects people of all areas to an environmental and socially responsible source of food from a local or organic farm within the southeast region. People who join the program receive a weekly or biweekly box of farm-fresh foods conveniently delivered to their workplace or a neighborhood host site. Each week on delivery day the pick up site becomes a community hub for good food and healthy lifestyles as people stop by to pick up their boxes of organic groceries. Box programs provide a framework for a relationship that allows consumers and farmers to collaborate efforts in order to ensure and sustain a safe and healthy food source in their community. Below is a list of positive contributions organic box programs bring to a community.
Education is an important goal of a successful box program. Many Organic farms host field days and workshops to educate members about sustainable farming and healthy food choices. Supporting the local economy is a healthy economic choice for any community. When you support a local farm you are supporting a group of local people that will, in return, support your industry or place of business. Box programs increase the amount of workers a farm can employ by creating a solid and stable market for the sale of the farm's produce. Box programs serve as a great source of revenue for local jobs and help to create safe and healthy work environments.
The overall health of individuals can be positively affected by joining an Organic Box program. Several customers find that they begin eating more fresh produce when it is readily available to them. Organic Box programs often cause their members to eat healthier and feel better. Box programs provide their members with food that is not genetically modified and does not contain any chemicals such as pesticides. The result is a decrease in the risk of cancer and heart attack. |
