Help to spur economic growth! Simply put, when you spend your dollars locally, the money circulates locally, positively impacting several businesses before it leaves the area. Spending the same amount of money at a large national chain has very little positive impact on the local economy. Know what’s in your food! Buying straight from local farmers lets you ask them important questions about how the food was grown, what farming practices were used and what’s really in your food. Local food can taste better and have more nutritional benefit! Studies show that the distance food travels from farm to table affects attributes like taste and nutrition. Help preserve open space and keep local farms in business! Buying from local farms helps keep smaller family farms in business. This helps maintain our rural character and helps farmers afford to stay in business.
