Eat Locally

I came upon an interesting item the other day. According to MN2020.org (a Minnesota think tank), when you spend $1.00 at a national chain an average of $0.43 stays in the community. Spend that dollar at a local independent, and $0.68 stays in the community.

This time of year our farms are producing snap beans, yellow squash and zucchini, pole beans, eggplant, wax beans, strawberries, and the list goes on. You can serve your family healthy nutritious fruits and veggies that are grown practically in our backyard.

Think globally, eat locally. It's good for the earth, it's good for the local economy and it's good for you.
