Food
Miles
Pineapples, for instance, often come from Hawaii and Jamaica
and apples can come from as far away as New Zealand! Most
fruits and vegetables travel about 1,500 miles from the farm
to the supermarket. That’s like driving from the very
top of Washington State, all the way down the Pacific coast
to the Mexican border! The distance your food travels from
the farm to the store is called food miles.
Local Lucy and Traveling Tom are tomatoes with a story to
tell!
