Plan for nonprofit produce-handler part of local-food movement - Sacramento Business, Housing Market News Sacramento Bee:
"Sacramento-area farmers harvest a cornucopia of food each year – 3.4 million tons. More than 98 percent of this bounty is then shipped out of the region, and 2.2 million tons of food grown or processed elsewhere is hauled in to feed us.
Shawn Harrison sees that as a problem – and an opportunity. The executive director of Soil Born Farms in Rancho Cordova is at the hub of a movement to get more of Sacramento's bounty into Sacramento stomachs."
