Food bank gets into ‘Cut Your Costs’

The concept of cost-cutting isn’t just a home finance necessity - for organizations like food banks that need to operate on tight budgets, the same rules apply.

A Vermont food bank has decided one way to save on food and strengthen donations is to take the supply chain into its own hands, by buying a farm. NECN’s Anya Huneke has more on the concept.

What can you take away from this? Buying your own farm may not be a reasonable solution, but growing your own fruits and vegetables can be a moneysaver - with a little work replacing that trip down the produce aisle.
