Don’t forget “buy local food.” Supporting local family farms not only means healthier products, it helps promote sustainable farming practices, including lower carbon footprint from shipping produce thousands of miles and responsible food production over the factory farm use of pesticides and genetically altered foods, helps members of your community by supporting a local business and encourages responsible use of open space in and around our cities.
