Birmingham’s largest farm-to-table program is Grow Alabama. The idea has been a practice among select upscale restaurants for several years. The movement is now gaining popularity among quality conscious home cooks. The idea is to use ingredients grown or raised as close to home as possible. For foodies, the appeal is that local in-season food has superior taste. For the health conscious, food that is consumed shortly after harvesting has more nutritional value. For the environmentally conscious, local food has to travel fewer miles to get where it is going, so less fossil fuel is used. The economically conscious appreciate the fact that dollars spent support local farmers.

Alabama Goods is pleased to support the farm-to-table movement.  Our Homewood store serves as a pick-up location for Grow Alabama, an organization that supports Alabama farmers and provides Grow Alabama customers with fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables that are in season.
