Buying local is about more than how we spend our dollars–it’s about supporting what we value in our community like fair pay, sustainable agriculture, healthy food, and strong local economies.
Buying local supports a diversity of innovative and interdependent businesses that make it possible tour communities to both survive and thrive in good times and bad.
Purchasing products made or grown by our neighbors builds relationships that strengthen the economy while creating opportunities for greater civic engagement.
When we buy local, we exercise our power to change the local food system to one that is more transparent and better supports our farms, workers, environment, and the entire community.
Buying local ensures that our farms and local businesses remain vibrant and productive and contribute to preserving our scenic landscape and unique culture.
