Cost! Locally grown foods have terrific value from an environmental, nutritional, and economical viewpoint. Thank you for supporting your local farm – Triple B! 1. Freshness! Locally-grown foods are harvested within 24 hours of being purchased by the customer. 2. Taste! Produce picked and eaten when fresh tastes better. 3. Nutrition! Nutritional value declines as time passes after harvest. So, locally- grown produce is freshest & more nutritionally complete. 4. Purity!  Locally grown produce is safest because it is grown in your “back yard.” 5. Community!  Locally grown produce supports the economy in your “back yard.” 6. Variety!  Local farmers are not limited to the varieties of foods they produce; they can change and supplement at the request of their customer. 7. Soil Stewardship! Sustaining soil fertility is a major goal of any local farmer, so as to continue their business year after year. 8. Energy Conservation! Hand grown and handpicked crops save energy at the farm level. Purchasing locally conserves energy at the customer level. 9. Environmental Protection! Local farmers use practices that protect soil, air, and water resources, therefore promoting biodiversity. Another element to sustaining their business year after year.
