Great question! Buying locally is an option that consumers are very privileged to have, and there are many benefits that come with it. When you buy locally, it cuts out the "middle man" that produces, transports, and prices your food. Locally grown food really is grown near you. Purchasing food within your area is stimulating and helpful to your community, being that you are buying from local farmers. As a consumer, when you buy these items, you know that you are getting the freshest possible food available. Have you ever have a tomato that was picked just 24 hours ago? It's delicious! Ultimately, eating locally grown food is not only beneficial to your health, it also lets you feel good about what you're putting on your plate.

Why is buying local healthier?

Buying locally isn't necessarily healthier for you. It is, however, healthier for the environment. By purchasing locally you are supporting your local farmers and reducing the distance that food must travel to get to your doorstep, decreasing its carbon footprint. Buying organic foods can be considered healthier as there are no foreign chemicals/preservatives used on the food. Buying local, organic food is the best of both worlds.
