Buy local, buy fresh!
There are many benefits to buying food that is grown locally.
Locally produced food:
-
is fresh, nutritious, and loaded with flavour;
-
keeps money in the local economy, creates jobs and supports farmers;
-
uses less packaging which means less garbage in our landfills; and
-
uses less fossil fuel for transport, contributing less to pollution and global warming.
