Knowing where your food comes from and how it is grown or raised enables you to choose fresh food from farmers you know and whose practices you support. Locally grown & produced foods are exceptionally fresh, delicious, & abundant. Local food is fresher and tastes better than food shipped long distances from other states or countries, so it often reaches you within 24 hours of harvest. Local farmers can offer produce varieties bred for taste and freshness rather than shipping and long shelf life. Buying local protects the environment. Most conventionally produced food is extremely resource intensive, traveling an average of 1,500-2,500 miles from field to plate. Local food, however, doesn’t have to travel far, thus reducing fossil fuel dependence, carbon dioxide emissions, and use of packing materials. Buying local supports endangered family farms & strengthens the local economy. Getting to know the farmers who grow your food builds relationships based on understanding and trust, the foundation of strong communities. With each local food purchase, you ensure that more of your money goes directly to local farmers and stays in the community. Buying local protects open space & farmland. Keeping local farms economically viable is critical to preserving the beautiful landscapes and rural agricultural areas surrounding towns and urban centers. Buying local food helps to make farming more profitable and selling farmland for development less attractive. The Many Reasons to Buy Local!
