"How and where food is grown, processed, packaged, transported, and prepared makes a difference! Just as we are shaped by what we eat, the land and our communities are also shaped by what we grow and what we eat. Food choices influence farmland preservation, water quality, the availability of jobs, and the health of our citizens. The Dane County Food Council will go a long way toward creating economic development for local farmers and businesses while providing County residents with healthy and nutritious food choices."

-Ruth Simpson, Dane County Food Council
