Family Farm Direct welcomed a new addition to the team on Monday: a 40-foot shipping container freezer! This new cold storage will help us grow and make room for more products from local family farms.
We're grateful to Maryland Agricultural & Resource-Based Industry Development Corporation and Maryland's Rural Health Transformation Program (@MarylandDepartmentofHealth), administered by @RuralMarylandCouncil, for making this possible. Thank you also to @Dmbowman for allowing us to lease the site for the container.
Hospitals, schools, and food pantries: if you'd like to bring more local farm food to your community, reach out and let's work together.
Fun fact: the truck that delivered our new freezer was purchased from the set of Yellowstone. ๐ค

USDA says it will prioritize locally processed American beef in hospitals and other institutions. Details are still coming, but the direction is clear. Family Farm Direct is ready to help institutions source local beef from family farms. #LocalBeef https://t.co/6JFLzhOQrs
