Look at all those yummy fresh fruits and vegetables in that Farmer’s Market! And it’s all grown locally. Why does that matter? Because they’re fresher (haven’t traveled 1-2 weeks to get here), have fewer or no preservatives or genetic modifications to extend freshness, save energy (local production takes 3%-17% less oil for transportation), and have less packaging. Besides, buying them supports our local farmers and economy. So, enjoy the abundant fruits (and veggies) of summer!
