Why should YOU buy local foods? One reason is that local food supports local families. The wholesale prices that farmers get for their products are low, often near the cost of production. Local farmers who sell direct to consumers cut out the middleman and get full retail price for their food - which helps farm families stay on the land.You also get food that is fresher, and you know where and how it is grown!
