![Why eat locally grown?
- You’re supporting local family farmers (number of farms are declining in USA)
- You know exactly where your food comes from
- It connects you to your roots and community
- Produce is picked while it’s ripe which has the most nutrients, vs picked before it’s ripe like most grocery stores do so they can ship it & shelf it. Within 24 hours of being picked, produce has more nutrients.
- No transportation
- Animals are usually grown without all the extra yuck like added hormones or antibiotics! You can also find farms that only do free-range, pasture raised, & grass-fed!
- You’re eating produce in season
- It tastes better & is full of flavor!
- Local food supports local economy
- Helps the environment
- Many times is more affordable
- Grass-fed beef has more nutrients than conventional grain-fed
