The New Economics Foundation in London performed a study which showed that a dollar spent locally generates twice the amount in the local economy.
By getting rid of the middle men, local foods are handled less and therefore given more opportunity to ripen, so it gets to your table as fresh as can be!
The longer the food is off the vine, the less neutritional value it has.
The March 2005 edition of Food Policy demonstrated how buying organic foods that have traveled thousands of miles to your table, has more of an environmental impact than getting non-organic local food.
You know who you are getting your food from!
When a food has little travel time between the farm and your table, there is less possibility for contamination
