GROW.
EAT.
PLAY.
Remember, local farms are run by local families who live and work near you. Their products travel less of a distance, so they are often fresher, more nutritious options. If we could all challenge ourselves to buy even 10% of our food locally, it would mean millions of dollars of income for the local economy.
Getting to know where your food comes from is an important key to understand all its impacts. Choosing to buy local influences: local families, local economies, local communities, and local health. We celebrate each of these impacts as well as embrace the future opportunities we see for local foods in North Central Iowa.
