+ 2. From the Field to Your Fridge
Instead of traveling an average of 1500 miles from the farm to your plate, local produce is harvested and delivered immediately.
Spending less time in transport means fresh products that retain more of their nutritional value.
Since local products don’t need to travel far, produce is allowed to ripen on the trees and in the fields ensuring the best flavor.
Local farmers and ranchers are right in your backyard! They are readily available to answer questions about their fresh products.
+ 5. Support the Local Economy
Buying local maintains jobs, sustains family farms and ranches, and contributes to the state economy annually.
The beauty of farms and ranches enriches the landscape and supports the state.
Buying local preserves the strength and character of communities for generations to come.
+ 8. Preserve Open Space and Wildlife Habitat
Buying local is better for the environment because it helps keep farms and ranches profitable, thereby maintaining open space and wildlife habitat.
