Chris Whitson

Local food producers didn't know how to easily sell their products. When consumers want convenient access to quality groceries from people they can trust...they visit Farm To You. Chris is a 7th generation retailer with nearly $400MM in fresh food sales. Growing a 100% local grocery store using direct-to-farmer relationships, Chris has a pulse on local food problems that few have attempted to tackle in this way. Learn why farmers markets don't actually benefit many farmers (or consumers) and how grocery stores also fall short. Chris is eager to educate and inform others using on-the-ground insight into why our food system is so broken and why we lose thousands of farms a year with most farms earning negative income farming.
