Blessings of Buying Local
Local meats aren’t just for the health-conscious among us. Buying local imparts a few more blessings.
“Robust local food systems offer social, environmental and economic benefits. Purchasing local food can help preserve local farmland and reduce the distance food travels between farmers and consumers. In addition, an ample supply of local food may reduce a region’s vulnerability to supply disruptions and global food safety concerns. Local food purchases can support local economies by keeping food dollars in circulation within communities. Local food can also link growers with consumers who are hungry for a connection to farms and farmers. “
