Think about the last time you bought your groceries from a big company. What did your purchase accomplish? You probably got what you were looking for at a decent price, but that’s where that story ends.
Now consider the last time you shopped for your food locally. The choice you made to support local farmers had a much bigger impact on your community and the environment!
Here’s what happens when you support local farmers:
1. You’re investing in the future of these farms
By shopping from local farmers, you’re investing in these small, family-run businesses that continue to invest in your communities. Support local businesses and watch those businesses grow into something special!
2. It creates character in the community
There’s value in having independent, small businesses in your local community – they produce unique products, and create the benefit of having options besides only what the big companies provide.
3. It positively impacts the environment
When you shop from a local farm, you’re reducing travel pollution – products don’t have to travel across oceans to reach you, and you don’t have to drive too far to buy them.
Local farms also have a smaller infrastructure than big factories!
4. It preserves local open space
Every time you buy something from a local farm, you’re proving their worth to your government. Farmland is then less likely to be sold for development because it is being used for a community-loved business.
5. You’re supporting the humane treatment of animals
The animals raised at local farms are pasture-raised, with no added hormones or antibiotics – unlike other meat production processes that have animals caged in tight spaces.
6. You’re eating food that is better for your body
Less time between farm to table means that your food is fresher and has less preservatives!
