50 percent of our healthcare spending is driven by unhealthy lifestyles, according to the Centers for Disease Control. As a result, many companies are working to build a "culture of health" among their employees. Healthier employees not only cost less, they produce more.
Worksites in the Louisville Metro region are adding farm-to-institution programs as one of a smorgasbord of health-related benefits. These programs allow employees weekly delivery of seasonal produce, dairy products, meat, poultry, and other food items. Some employers use incentives to boost participation in these food-delivery opportunities.
Louisville Farm to Table helps corporations in the Metro area adopt more sustainable food practices. We can help with:
Employee access to delivered local groceries-
Louisville Farm to Table works with Grasshoppers Distribution, a local-food delivery business that allows employees a wide selection of local and seasonal products and delivers weekly. Give us a call or email Grasshoppers directly at april@grasshoppersdistribution.com
Local food consultation- Louisville Farm to Table can work with food service managers to find sources of local food, including through many preferred vendors, and help them qualify for money-back rebates for using products with direct farm impact.
