Rooted Carrot is committed to values including Local Commitment and Sustainability. The Cedar Valley region has hard-working local producers and farmers who help grow our economy, feed us, and do it sustainably. Many of those producers are also Rooted Carrot member-owners! Farmers’ Market season (outside) may be over, but you can still find local products during the winter months.
Watch for indoor Farmers Markets starting soon and consider sourcing locally for your holiday meals and weekly meal planning!
Here are a few ways you can support these local producers all season long:
- Check out Hansen’s Dairy in Cedar Falls for locally made: Cider, Flowers, Bread, Veggies, Meat options, Coffee, and More.
