Reasons to Buy Local Food

• Local food tastes better. Food imported from far away is older, has travelled on trucks or planes, and has sat in warehouses before it finally gets to your plate. You also get the opportunity to stay connected to the seasons.
  
  
• Local food is safer. Local framers aren’t anonymous and they take their responsibility to the consumer seriously. Local food also supports local families and builds community between eater and grower.
  
  
• Local food is an investment in the future – both yours and your communitys. By supporting local farmers today, you are helping ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow. The shorter the time between the farm and your table, the less likely it is that nutrients will be lost from fresh food. Fresh is always best.
