1. Locally grown food tastes better.

Produce harvested locally and more recently is fresher and has better flavor than produce that travels across the country.

2. Local produce is better for you.

Studies show that fresh produce loses nutrients quickly.  Locally grown food, purchased soon after harvest, retains its nutrients.

3. Eating local is better for the environment.

When your food doesn't travel long distances, you're promoting better air quality and reducing pollution.

4. Local food supports local farm families

When you buy local, you support family owned farms and as a result those families can afford to stay on the farm, doing the work they love.

5. Local food preserves open space.

Open farming lands will survive only as long as farms are financially viable. When you buy locally grown food, you are doing something proactive about preserving the agricultureal landscape.
