Smart Shopping
Rising food prices have everyone thinking of creative ways to stretch their meal budget. One of the easiest ways to start saving on your grocery bill is by purchasing locally grown and in-season items. Foods that are grown locally are fresher and retain more nutrients, they also taste better, as they are picked and consumed nearby the source. That’s where your local farmers market comes in real handy this time of year. Eating locally grown food by shopping at your farmer’s markets supports your local economy and fosters a connection with the people who dedicate themselves to growing your food. All of this benefits your health and the environment too, as money spent at a local farm helps maintain farmland and open space in your community. It is said that $1 dollar spent at your local farmers market duplicates that value by double and maybe triple in your region. Supporting farmer’s markets also creates local jobs, preserves America’s rural livelihood and farmland, and promotes sustainability by eliminating the need for food to travel long distances. You can eat locally by visiting farmers’ markets in your town or by shopping directly from your local farm store. Our farm store is open year-round!
