There are also three bakeries, an ice-cream vendor, and meats from Ole Pioneer’s Kitchen that include Mexican sausage, British bangers, and Italian meatballs.

                           Five Reasons to Buy Local                      

1.
ENVIRONMENT: Small-scale regional farming preserves green space and protects diverse wildlife populations.   
Buy local also cuts global warming emissions produced by trucking food thousands of miles.  

2. TASTE: Local produce is fresher and therefore tastes better. 
 
3. HEALTH: Food grown close to where it’s consumed has better nutritional value because it has experienced less deterioration during transport.  

4. MONEY: Buying regional produce and meats keeps nearby farmers in business and puts your earnings back in the local economy. Additionally, the green space preserved by supporting regional agriculture keeps property taxes in check.
 
5. COMMUNITY: Farmers’ Markets are great places to meet the neighbors.
