Local food brings people together. You're participating in a time-honored link between eater and grower when you buy directly from a farmer.

Local food keeps local families afloat. Farmers receive poor wholesale prices for their products, which are often close to the cost of production.

When farmers get paid more for their products by marketing locally, they're less likely to sell farmland for development. When you buy locally grown food, you're doing something proactive to preserve our working landscape.
