What is Good Food?

Nourishing for People 

• Traditional, Whole, and Real
  Our ingredient choices and food preparation methods have stood the test of time and have been used by many cultures across the world.
• Shared in Relationship
  When food is prepared with care by people we know, eaten together with people important to us, and shared with others, it strengthens us.
  

Nourishing for Our Planet

• Small and Local
  Farming, cooking, and eating can actually invest in our ecological resources rather than deplete them when done on a thoughtful community scale.

Justice for Growers

• Fair Trade
  Those who plant, cultivate and harvest our food are as important as the land on which they work or the healthy life urban dwellers seek. Their work must be supported fairly.

Justice for Eaters

• Honesty, Integrity, and Openness
  The only way for eaters to make change in our world through their food choices is if they can easily access accurate information and if those who grow, prepare, and distribute food do so with transparency.
• Everybody Eats
  FEAST Together offers creative strategies for moving closer to Middle Tennessee’s shared vision of “ensuring that everyone has access to healthy, affordable food from a just and sustainable food system.”
