| People around the world are taking the L0CAVORE CHALLENGE! A locavore, or localvore, is a relatively new term which refers to "selecting food from where you live." Can you eat food from within a hundred miles of you for a meal, a day, or even a week? It might take some planning but if you take the Locavore Challenge...you'll be glad you did. FIVE REASONS TO BUY LOCAL FOOD 1. Locally grown food is better for you. Fresher food retains its nutrients! 2. Most locally grown food is GMO free. 93% of Americans want GMO free food. Rest assured that locally grown food was bred the old fashioned way, as nature intended! 3. Local food builds community. When buying direct from the farmer, you are re-establishing a time-honored connection between the eater and the grower. Relationships built on understanding and trust can thrive. 4. Local food supports local farm families. Farmers are a vanishing breed. Commodity prices are often below the of cost of production. The farmer now gets less than 10 cents of the retail food dollar. Local farmers who sell direct to the public cut out the middleman and get a better price, while often selling at or below retail prices. 5. Local food is about the future. By supporting local farmers today, you can ensure that there will be farms in your community for tomorrow. Help future generations have access to nourishing and flavorful foods! BUY LOCAL FOOD! SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS! BECOME A LOCAVORE! |
