Eating local food is a great way to support the local economy and reduce the environmental impact of food transportation. By incorporating local food into your daily meals, you can also enjoy fresh, delicious produce. To start, it’s important to know what’s in season in your area. Local farmers’ markets are a great resource for fresh, seasonal produce.
Look for fruits and vegetables that are in season and incorporate them into your meals. You can also try new recipes and experiment with different cooking techniques to add variety to your meals.
Finally, we’d love you to consider growing at least some of your own food. Homegrown produce is not only fresh and delicious, but it’s also a great way to connect with the environment and learn new skills. You can start small with a few herbs or tomatoes in containers. Then consider growing a larger, with space considerations, a full vegetable garden. By incorporating local food into your daily meals, you can support the local economy and enjoy the benefits of fresh, delicious produce.
