A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
FreshPoint local purchasing number is 34%, please see:
http://www.freshpointcentralflorida.com/subPages.php?ID=91&localID=9
"It is clear that the leadership of FreshPoint buying local produce can have a great impact. Many of our local companies have been supporting local family farms for a long time and our customers want to know where their foods are produced - and who produced them. This "local" attitude is creating a growing market for natural and organic foods grown and produced locally and supplied through our existing local food system. Buy local and sell fresh.
It's a philosophy that FreshPoint companies have not only believed in but helped create. Many of our customers are now providing their customers with exciting menu alternatives featuring locally produced foods"
