Examining the effect that this has on our fruits/veggies/livestock from a taste to nutrition all the way to the economic impact locally. GROUNDED, is an aid in the movement of bringing us to a healthy, vibrant, and sustainable life by supporting and educating individuals in our community as to what exists right here in our very own backyard.
