I encourage everyone to please buy locally grown food in your neighborhood. The reasons are endless, but most importantly it's fresher and tastes better. They are more alive and contain the most nutrients! FACT: Since 1935, the US has lost 4.7 million farms due to industrialization and this has limited our produce to grow in fewer locations. Because of this, our food has to travel. On average, food travels 1,500 miles to grace our plate. Whoa!
Another reason to buy local is it reduces the carbon footprint by less traveling and packaging materials. It also gives back to your community and strengthens your local economy. We need to preserve the farmlands and support endangered family farms instead of allowing corporations to build and destroy it.
I found this really cool site that helps you find farmers' markets in your area, so no excuses. Buy LOCAL!
Remember, Best Tasting Food is Always Close to Home :)
