Benefits Of Buying Local Produce
Here’s a way to do your part for your family, the planet and the local economy where you live. Buy locally grown produce! And I can make it easy for you.I discovered a website called Local Harvest.org where you can a listing of all the farms and farmers market where you live. From the main page you simply enter your town or zip code and the options will appear on an interactive google map. Farms, farmers markets, grocery stores and restaurants that support local growers are all showcased.
When you buy local produce it can be fresher and more nutritious. You're be supporting the local farmer and the farm is a preservation of local green space. Plus you’ll reduce green house gas emissions and air pollution created when we buy produce that is brought in by truck, train, plane and ship.
So stop buy your local farmers market and you’ll be doing your part in more ways than one.
