Why bother eating local?

Thanks Anthony Austin from First Coast News for featuring LocalTown!

Very happy to announce the www.Local.Town website is up and running! You can now get your local produce at about half the price of a grocery store and you can custom order directly through the website.

Why should you care about eating local sustainably and responsibly grown food?

"On one hand, things are so much worse than I could have imagined in terms of the concentration of power in the world, and the destructiveness of industrial agriculture. Never could I have imagined the extent of the dislocation, the extent of the cycles we are in with industrial agriculture."

What if shopping local was easier. The products were in one centralized place. Would you support local more?

LocalTown - Discover what you've been missing LocalTown is the best place to discover local real food products, places and people. Shopping local isn't convenient. Storefronts are not centralized, not open 24/7, neither are there any centralized websites for all of them. That's what we are creating. We'd love to invite you to Join the community…

LocalTown November Box is HERE

LocalTown Box is HERE! In order to kick off the weekend our special today: If you order today shipping is free and will be in your hands tomorrow! (Free shipping special for Jax residents only). Better tasting products from local places right in our back yard. What could be better!

Each LocalTown box you purchase = a meal for a mother and child .

We are inspired to partner with CRM because of incredible people like Sara right here in our town of Jacksonville.

Sara is a 23 year-old young mother of a baby girl and a little toddler boy. She lived with the children’s father in Georgia, but he was a drug user and she suffered under his violent hand. She was miserable and living in fear of his attacks.

Finally, Sara decided that she had enough, so when he went out to party, she quickly gathered up as much as she could in one suitcase and children in tow, ran to the Greyhound station.

Sara knew her father lived in Jacksonville, so she bought a one way ticket here.

When Sara arrived, her heartless father rejected her and the children. She was devastated and broken. All of the men in her life had let her down.

She found herself wandering the streets of a strange city with her small children and nowhere to go. She was frightened and unaware of the resources here. She stumbled upon a vacant building and slept their for two nights.

One day she walked down State Street and saw City Rescue Mission’s New Life Inn. She stopped in and spoke with Jamie of CRM and took her in.

Jamie helped Sara find daycare for her two little ones so she could begin job seeking. Through time, Sara found a part-time job and due to her work ethic and abilities, her supervisor offered her a full-time position.

CRM helped Sara connect with other services in the community, provided meals, helped her save money, and find an apartment. Within four month, Sara became an independent woman, living in her own place assured that she and her children were finally safe.

At LocalTown we believe City Rescue Mission emulates the phrase: Real action is true advocacy.

We are honored to partner with CRM to help tell their story.

We hope you can join us for this month and for every box you purchase, LocalTown will provide a meal for a mother and child at City Rescue Mission just like Sara.
