Why should YOU buy local foods? Purchasing local food not only supports local families, but is oftentimes more affordable. When farmers sell their products wholesale, margins are lower, often near the cost of production. When you purchase directly from a local farmer the farm is about to cut out the middleman and receive the full retail price for their products - which helps farm families stay on the land. In addition, you receive fresher food and you know where and how it is grown!
