Last year, I fell in love with our local farm store. It’s five minutes away. The woman who worked behind the counter always threw an extra apple or tomato in my bag. I’d go with a ten dollar bill in my pocket and walk away with three or four bags full of produce. And I feel like I hadn’t tasted real potatoes, onions, or broccoli until I started shopping there.

When you shop at your local farms, not only are you supporting local agriculture, but you’re reducing the amount of fuel used to transport food from the farm to your table.

Check out Local Harvest, to learn about the farms in your area.
