Why is it important to support my local economy?
Supporting your local economy is important for keeping choice and options available for shopping. Also, it's a good way to know better how your food is produced and to have a relationship with farmers and retailers. Another benefit is that you don't have the cause of pollution associated with food travelling from far parts of the world. Another benefit of buying locally is that you're more in touch with seasonal food and it just helps to get you connected with the different seasons and how the whole cycle works.
