Our Mission

FALLON FOOD HUB is a non-profit organization that is working to bring local food distribution to Fallon by building a regional food system for Fallon and surrounding rural communities.

It is our VISION to create a gathering place in the heart of our historic downtown which provides an outlet/market for local farmers, local small food producers, and an emerging value-added sector.

HOW THE Online MARKET WORKS

  • Wednesday at 2 PM  the online market closes.
  • Thursday morning the farmers will deliver the products to the Fallon Food Hub for packaging.
  • Friday at 8 AM your products will be available for pickup.
  • The Fallon Food Hub will donate your perishable items to the Fallon Daily Bread if you forget to pick up your by 2 PM Saturday.

Why Buy Local?

  • Buying local tastes better and is more nutritious
  • Commercial produce is often a week old by the time it travels over 1,500 miles to get to supermarkets, often requiring preservatives.
  • Commercial produce is sometimes picked too early, making fruit, for example, hard and tasteless.
  • Locally grown food, on the other hand, is harvested at its peak in taste and nutrition for your immediate purchase.
  • Many local farmers offer the unique and flavorful heirloom varieties of produce they sell.
  • Buying local keeps the money in our community
  • Commercial food profits go to a middleman or giant business outside our community and state, whereas buying local keeps the money cycling here in our community, helping it to grow and prosper.
  • Buying fresh produce from local producers helps preserve local farms and our precious rural community.
  • Buying local ensures a safe and secure food
  • Getting to know our local food producers, their ethics, cultural heritage, and farming practices provides confidence in a safe supply of healthy food for our families.
  • Buying from local farmers helps renew rural, small-scale agriculture in our communities and helps guarantee a consistent flow of healthy food year round.
