Why EAT LOCAL?
Because local food provides economic, environmental, and health benefits,
to each of us and to our community.
Local food is fresher, more nutritious, and just plain tastes
better than food that travels hundreds and hundreds of miles to reach your plate.
Buying local food helps family farms to stay in business
thus supporting the local economy and protecting valuable open space.
Reducing transport distances reduces the emission of greenhouse gases
and allows farmers to harvest fruit and produce hours or days before you eat it.
And when you eat local food, you can get to know your local farmer,
thus reassuring yourself that your food is safe and healthful.
