Eating local and supporting the community

Action: 3397 - Buy Local Food

For the past couple of years, I've been trying to purchase more of my food from local sources. Not only are things fresher and taste better, but my food chain generates less CO2 when things don't have to travel as far to get to me. The Franklin Farmer's market has helped make that process easy, as there are a variety of vendors to buy from. Shopping there is a fun experience! Not everything is food, either. There's other local products as well, so I can get local soap, etc. While I still purchase some things from larger stores, I like being able to support others in the community and the chance to reduce my impact on the planet. Plus, it's delicious!
