Local fruits and vegetables usually taste fresher because they’re picked when they’re fully ripe. Food that travels a long way is often picked early so it doesn’t spoil, which can affect the flavor. Buying local also helps our community. It supports nearby farmers and keeps money in our local economy, helping other businesses and services close to home.
