Local food tastes better
The crops are picked at their peak freshness. Food from far away is older, and has traveled long distances in trucks or planes.
Local is more nutritious
Locally grown fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients because they are picked at their peak freshness, transported shorter distances and sold directly to the consumer.
Stays fresh longer
Since the produce was picked the day before, it will last longer in your refrigerator.
Local food is safe
Local farmers aren't anonymous and they take their responsibility to the consumer seriously. There is an assurance in knowing that the produce is fresh and comes from local farms.
It’s Often Pesticide
Local food producers choose to use organic and natural pest repellants to preserve the health of the food they distribute. Foods produced by large-scale agricultural operations are often mass sprayed with pesticides.
