Buy Local Produce

Spring is quickly passing and we are headed into the best time of year for local, fresh produce!

Still haven’t switched from buying your fruits and veggies at the grocery store…? Maybe if you knew that by buying your produce locally, whether it’s through the farmers’ market or a community garden, you can reduce the distance your food has to travel to get from the farm to your plate.
North American produce typically travels a minimum of 1,500 miles, which wastes barrels of crude oil and emits pollutants and greenhouse-gas emissions along the way.
