Our first local Farmer’s Market opened up last Saturday. Even though the season is barely getting into the swing of things-we had a nice selection of berries, spinach, lettuce, fresh herbs, bread and cheese to pick from.
Here are a few simple reasons to buy local foods:
*Local food taste better and are fresher.
*Local food usually have less environmental impact
*Local foods preserve farmland and green space
*Local foods support your local economy
*Local foods create community – it connects you and your children
with those that raise and
grow your food.
*Local foods usually offer more variety
*Local foods are usually safer and more healthy.
Since local foods use less fuel to deliver better health and flavor, I’d say it is definitely helping our environment in a tasty way. Aren’t you looking forward to the days of summer?
