THE BENEFITS OF BUYING
LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE

When it comes to choosing the food we eat, there are many factors to consider. One important aspect is where our food comes from and how it is grown. Buying locally grown produce has numerous benefits for both our health and the environment.

​

Freshness, Quality, Health & Nutrition

When you buy locally, you can be sure that the produce is picked at its peak ripeness, resulting in superior taste and nutritional value. Locally grown produce doesn't have to travel long distances, so it spends less time in transit and on store shelves, ensuring that it reaches your plate at its freshest.  We also provide spray-free vegetables, meaning no chemical pesticides are used on our produce.

Environmental Sustainability

Our farm is dedicated to sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. By purchasing our locally grown produce, you are supporting our efforts to protect the environment. Locally sourced food reduces greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing transportation and shipping requirements. It also helps to conserve water and reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, which can harm the ecosystem.

Community Support

When you buy locally grown produce, you are directly supporting farmers in your community. We are committed to providing fairly-priced vegetables to the local residents. By purchasing produce from local farmers, you are contributing to the local economy and helping to sustain small-scale, family-owned farms.

Plastic Waste Reduction

We strive to be plastic-free. By buying locally grown produce, you can reduce plastic waste. Locally sourced fruits and vegetables often come without excessive packaging, reducing the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills or pollutes our waterways.

Connection to Nature

Our small farm is part of our surrounding eco-system, we rely on a certain balance to successfully navigate a spray-free farm - a balance with nature.  To name some examples, we depend on the swallows to eat the cabbage moths and encourage their presence.  We plant native grasses that provide food and shelter for our local birds that eat unwanted pests in our garden.  We plant native flowering plants to attract and provide a source of nectar and pollen for our resident beneficial insects and pollinators.  By choosing locally grown produce you can reconnect with nature and develop a deeper appreciation for the earth's bounty.
