Why Buy Local?

 

THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD REASONS TO BUY LOCALLY GROWN FOOD

Exceptional Taste and Freshness:
Local farmers offer food that is bred for taste and freshness rather than shipping and long shelf life.

Strengthen Local Economy: Buying locally grown food keeps your dollars circulating in the Cape Cod community.

Support Endangered Family Farms:
Family farms are part of the American tradition of self-sufficiency and serve as the basis of local communities.

Safeguard Your Family’s Health:
Knowing where your food comes from allows you to be sure that your food is free of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, etc.

Protect the Environment:
Local food doesn’t have to travel far, reducing carbon monoxide emissions and packaging materials.

Buying Local is Easy:  Use our website to find a farmer, farmers’ market, farm stand, CSA, restaurant, retailer, or other local food outlet near you.

When you buy local food, you vote with your food dollar. This ensures that family farms in your community will continue to thrive and that healthy, flavorful, plentiful food will be available for future generations.
