Local Harvest

Did you know the typical carrot has to travel 1,838 miles to reach your dinner table? Farmers markets are great places to shop and a great way to support the small, local farms, run by farmers who live on their land and work hard to preserve it. Truly, the best organic food is what's grown closest to you. You can also cut down on the use of fossil fuels used to haul food to the local supermarket, which leads to significantly reduced levels of pollution and resource depletion. This website can help you find farmers' markets, family farms, and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area, where you can buy produce, grass-fed meats, and many other goodies: http://www.localharvest.org/
