If you're not having a 'GRAPE' day,
'LETTUCE' show you how with eight points on how local farming benefits you...
1. Buying local contributes to the LOCAL
ECONOMY. It keeps the revenue produced in the local community, keeps local
farmers in business, and stops the negative affects of imported food on global
warming and the environment.
2. Locally grown foods have many more NUTRIENTS
than store-bought, travelling produce. This makes for a healthier YOU and
FAMILY!

4. Supporting local farms and local
produce contributes to REDUCED TAXES! The
government does not have to spend money on the services and shipping of local
foods, keeping our taxes in check!
5. Local food = CLEAN ENVIRONMENT!
6. Local food PRESERVES OPEN SPACE! Without support for local farmers, farmland
would be sold to build retail stores, office towers, and so on; meaning, there
would no longer be open fields of grass or small-town, farming communities.
7. Without support for local farmers, LOCAL FOOD WOULD BE EXTINCT!
8. By supporting local farms today, you are ensuring there will be local
farms tomorrow! This only guarantees that your children, and your children's
children, will live to be a part of, and contribute to, local farming and local
food!
