Food Sustainability

In upstate New York town of Worsbrough there aren't many options to where your food comes from. Choices are limited unless one would want to drive longer then 30 minutes to go to the "local" Target or other main names in the food business including Food Lion, Harris Teeter, etc. In the small town there are about two locally owned shops to buy groceries. The option of growing food for oneself would be near to impossible due to the freezing temperatures most of the year. Some food could be grown but not a variety, nor enough to sustain a family let alone a single person. If a citizen want to buy a specific type of food product or a specific food process done, then options are limited and there is a good chance that citizen will have to deal with it, or venture elsewhere including a minimum of an hour drive.
