SHOP LOCALLY!

Yay! Spring has almost arrived!  It is time to take out my vintage bike and ride to the Farmers Markers and fill my basket with local goodies:)

Want to know where a local Farmers Market is near you?  Another way to eat locally would be through a CSA(community-supported agiculture). You can find both through Local Harvest by putting in the city you live in.

Not only does buying local mean the food is more fresh, but you are helping the environment out in a big way.  #1 you are reducing the amount of oil needed to transport food long distances.  #2 supporting nearby farmers strengthens the economy in your own backyard!
