Why Eat Local?
7 benefits to eating locally & where to shop!
With all the political mumbo jumbo going on right now in the world, the experts have predicted a food shortage. The best way to prepare and perhaps even solve that is to eat local. More than just for current events, eating local can do a number of beneficial things.
Stimulate the local economy
Help the local farmers
no shipping costs
cut back on your ecological and economic foot prints
But did you know the number of health benefits that come from eating local too?
Getting organic produce, meats and dairy without the labeling costs
Gaining the antibodies from the local soil to help build your immune system and fight off the local diseases like this year’s flu strain.
Eat Local. Shop Local. Farmers Markets
Farmers markets are a great way to hit all the benefits at once. These markets make it so much easier to buy from the local farms without having to pay the overhead prices.
When I lived in Seattle, I would prefer to go to the Carnation Farmers Market on Tuesdays during the season. All the booths were typically manned by the farmer themselves. One particularly memorable visit, I had asked the farmer where their farm was located. He stepped out of his booth, pointed to a hill and said,
“See that hill right there?”
“Yeah!”
“That’s our farm.”
Talk about eating local and knowing your farmer!
I loved Pike Place Market for similar experiences. Plus, Pike was the only place I could find my favorite fruit. Taylor Gold Pears. Between my daughter and I we would polish those pears off before we even reached home. So check out your local farmers market or chamber of commerce to find your local farms or ranches. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the difference in your food nutrition.
