Being a Locavore is a concept of eating local and from foods harvested with a 100 miles of your dining room table. Here are 5 reasons to eat local!
- Eating local means more for the local economy
- Locally grown produce is fresher and tastes better
- Locally grown fruits and vegetables have longer to ripen naturally
- Eating local is better for air quality, pollution protects us from bio-terrorism
- Buying locally grown food is fodder for a wonderful story
