Town and Country Foods Supports Sustainability

Caring about the environment is another important component of the Town and Country Foods' Home-delivery Food System.  Our system has the potential to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, reduce the amount of gasoline used, and reduce packaging waste.

For example, if 10,000 customers reduced the number of times they went to the grocery store by 2 trips using the Town and Country Home Food System, they would reduce the number of trips to the grocery store by 240,000.  If each trip was approximately 10 miles at an average of 20 miles per gallon of gasoline, 120,000 gallons of gasoline would be saved.  If each gallon of gasoline emits approximately 8.78 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would be reduced by approximately 1,053,600 kg.

The Town and Country Home-delivery Food System also decreases waste by reducing product packaging.  Instead of using Styrofoam containers as well as plastic to package meat products, Town and Country Foods uses just plastic.  This means that if 10,000 customer's purchases 150 pounds of meat in a year through the Town and Country Home Food System, packaging waste would be reduced by approximately 1.5 million Styrofoam containers.

What this adds up to is a better way to care for the environment and a better way to feed your family.
