AND LOCAL FOOD, BUT CAN'T MAKE
IT TO THE
FARMERS MARKET? WELL, YOU
CAN NOW JOIN MORE THAN 25-
HUNDRED OTHER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
FAMILIES THAT HAVE IT DELIVERED.
NEW TONIGHT 40/29'S KELLY
JOHNSON SHOWS YOU HOW.
LISTENING TO THEM TALK--YOU'D
NEVER KNOW ZACHERY BROWN AND DON
BENNETT WERE FROM SUCH DIFFERENT
WALKS OF LIFE. BROWN--A
BUSINESSMAN FROM DALLAS.
BENNETT? A LOCAL FARMER. BUT AS
PARTNERS?
We're in a food movement and
we're in this movement
together." BENNETT FOUNDED TRI
CYCLE FARMS IN FAYETTEVILLE.
IT'S AN URBAN GARDEN STEPS
AWAY FROM GARLAND AVENUE. ZAC--
IS THE C.E.O OF "FARM BOX
DELIVERS." A WEBSITE THAT SELLS
MOSTLY ORGANIC PRODUCTS FROM
BENNETT--AND MORE
THAN 60 OTHER LOCAL FARMERS AND
ARTISANS.
We connect you to that farmer on
a year round basis."
If you log on and sign up for a
free account, you can search
through the different options.
You can either customize a
weekly box. Or--choose from one
of theirs. Like the "juice box"
which will give you several
organic produce ingredients
perfect for your juicer. They
also have meat and bread
bundles.
You can set-up to be on auto--
or decide week-
to-week if and what you want
to order.
There's no commitment. Then--"
ON THURSDAY, THEY DELIVER YOUR
BOX RIGHT TO YOUR DOORSTEP.
I wanted to create a product
that was unadulterated and give
that to the consumer.
That means meat, everything,
vegetables,
everything, anything I could
sell-- bread--I
wanted to give them something
that was
completely unadulterated."
You know what? I want to know
what's in my food. And if the
only way I know is by growing my
own- or buying from my local
farmer and knowing my
farmer-then that's a good way to
go. And that's the
American dream." KELLY JOHNSON,
