WHY BUY LOCAL?
Our farmers are dedicated to stewardship and committed to quality. And while they love what they do, many aren’t doing it as a hobby. They need to make a living. Consumers that value fresh food and a working landscape support local farmers by buying their products. Here are some reasons why:
LOCALLY GROWN food tastes better and is better for you. The crops are picked at their peak, the shorter the time between the farm and your table, the less likely it is that nutrients will be lost. Food imported from far away is older and has traveled on trucks or planes, and sat in warehouses before it gets to you.
Local food preserves genetic diversity. Smaller local farms often grow many different varieties of crops to provide a long harvest season, an array of colors, and the best flavors.
Local farmers aren’t anonymous and they take their responsibility to the consumer seriously.
Local food supports local families. The wholesale prices that farmers get for their products are low, often near the cost of production. Local farmers who sell direct to consumers cut out the middleman and get full retail price for their food – which helps farm families stay on the land.
Local food builds community. When you buy direct from a farmer, you’re engaging in a time-honored connection between eater and grower. Knowing farmers gives you insight into the seasons, the land, and your food. In many cases, it gives you access to a place where your children and grandchildren can go to learn about nature and agriculture.
Local food preserves open space. When farmers get paid more for their products by marketing locally, they’re less likely to sell farmland for development.
Local food benefits the environment and wildlife. Well-managed farms provide ecosystem services: they conserve fertile soil, protect water sources, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. The farm environment is a patchwork of fields, meadows, woods, ponds and buildings that provide habitat for wildlife in our communities.
Local food is an investment in the future. By supporting local farmers today, you are helping to ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow. That is a matter of importance for food security, especially in light of an uncertain energy future and our current reliance on fossil fuels to produce, package, distribute and store food.
