Why Buy Local Food?
• Fresher and healthier: Fruit and vegetables which have been transported huge distances have fewer vitamins, and more energy or chemicals will have to be used to keep them fresh.
• Your money goes straight to local producers, helping to strengthen the local economy
• Understand your food; know how it has been produced and enjoy a sense of community discussing the produce with farmers. A much more enjoyable shopping experience!
• A sense of the seasons: Working with instead of against nature, buying food in season makes sense and helps keep our traditional recipes and food culture alive
• Benefit the environment: Local food hasn’t travelled so far. Notching up “food miles” increases the freight on our roads and contributes to pollution and global warming.
