Local Food

Local food is fresher, tastier, and grown more sustainably - with fewer "food miles" and chemicals.  Local farmers often use practices that protect topsoil, biodiversity and water resources.  And if you are concerned about animal welfare, you can visit the ranches and dairies where the chickens, pigs, cows are raised to see that they are truly free-range and humanely treated.
