For exceptional freshness and taste.
Once harvested, produce loses its vitality by the minute until it reaches the plate. Produce picked and eaten closer to its height of ripeness is crisp, has exceptional flavor and packed with nutrients. You simply can’t get this level of freshness when your produce travels hundreds of miles over several days to reach you.
To preserve open space.
By supporting local farmers, buying local food helps preserve green, open space in your community.
To help the local economy.
When you buy homegrown produce, you’re re-establishing a time-honored connection between the consumer and the grower, strengthening your tie to the community and the land. Buying local food also keeps your dollars circulating in NB.
To enrich environment and wildlife.
A well-managed family farm is a place where the resources of fertile soil and clean water are valued. Good stewards of the land grow cover crops to prevent erosion and replace nutrients used by their crops. Additionally, the habitat of a farm is the perfect environment for many beloved species of wildlife.
