There are Many Reasons to Buy Locally Grown
Food
You'll
get exceptional taste and
freshness - Local food is fresher and tastes better than food shipped
long distances from other states or countries.
You'll
strengthen your local
economy. Buying local food keeps your dollars circulating in
your
community. Getting to know the farmers who grow your food builds
relationships based on understanding and trust.

Abbreviation for
Community Supported Agriculture, a
system in which consumers support a local farm by paying in advance for
agricultural products. This reduces the financial risks for the farmer
because the costs of seeds and planting crops are covered in advance by
consumers. Throughout the growing season, CSA members receive a portion
of the farm's harvest each week.
