At CCFC, we do our best to get as much local goods as possible.
 We encourage supporting local farmers directly, but know that it’s not always possible for people to get to the markets and/or receive CSA’s, which is why we are a great option for farmers and consumers alike as an outlet for local fresh foods.
In addition, we carry a variety of organic produce from all over the country. We get what we can locally and we supplement with produce from Albert’s organics. We also order what cannot be grown locally, for example avocados and bananas.
 We order our grocery items, some supplements and personal care products from Rainbow Natural Foods, which is the only health food distribution company available to us. We are working on setting up accounts with several smaller companies to carry other personal care products and supplements including Floradix, Aubrey’s organics, StarWest , Wishgarden herbs and a number of others.
