We source from local producers.

• Locally grown food looks better, tastes better and is better for you.  Produce is harvested at its peak of ripeness and is transported a relatively short distance to our market.

• Food grown or produced locally supports local farmers, producers, and other small business owners. We are contributing to a vibrant economy that can help provide employment and economic growth for ourselves, our friends and neighbors.

We are strong stewards of the environment.

• We strive to minimize waste in all of its forms and to offer only sustainably- sourced food.

We believe in community – our community. your community.

• We live here. We work here.  We raise our families here.

• HGP offers nutritious, affordable food that is culturally inclusive and supportive of local food production.  Good for you. Good for us.

• Informed consumers are the cornerstone of a strong and vital community.  We foster dialogue about where our food comes from, the choices we make as consumers, and the many benefits of buying local, sustainably-sourced products.

We buy local, but think global.

• Because what we buy, where we buy, and how we buy impacts so much more than what we eat.
