Support your local farmers and artisans by buying local. It feels good to know your money is helping to support a local family.  And not only is it good for your community, but it’s also good for the planet.  Most vegetables, even if purchased domestically, are shipped from California, Florida, or Washington requiring large amounts of fossil fuel.  The more we can buy locally, the less we are contributing to the detrimental environmental effects of fossil fuel consumption.

Another benefit to eating local food is the variety that you can get from local sources.  Most produce shipped commercially is grown for its ability to “travel” and not for its simple deliciousness or nutrient content.  When food doesn’t have to travel such long distances, the sheer taste can decide which varieties are offered.   This enables a diversity of tasty offerings not possible with commercially grown organic produce.
