Ever wonder why the food always tastes better when you buy it from a local farmer? There are many reasons - one being when you buy local food, you reduce your food miles. The fewer miles your food has to travel, the less environmental damage occurs, and the fresher the product. When you buy at farmers markets, farm stands, or direct from the farm, the food is usually picked that day or the day before.

Purchasing locally grown food also financially supports local farmers. According to sustainabletable.org, when you buy food in a grocery store, about 3.5 cents of each dollar you spend makes it to the farmer. When you buy directly from the farmer, 80-90 cents of each dollar you spend makes it in the farmer’s pocket.

It just makes sense, by keeping your produce purchases local, you are not only providing fresher food for you and your family, you are also helping keep our local farmers sustained.
