Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Those are walmart miles and dollars. Let's hope they don't cut the heart and soul out of local growers and communities like their stores have done to small towns. A walmart store is not my idea of a community center. A road side market or a neighborhood market is closer to what I would like.

In an example, Wal-Mart said that by sourcing peaches in 18 states instead of just two, as it did before, it saves 672,000 food miles and 112,000 gallons of diesel fuel -- or more than $1.4 million dollars in transportation costs per season.
