Local food tastes better. There are many reasons to buy local, but the best reason
is flavor. Food that doesn't travel as far is fresher. |

The benefits of buying local produce
Supporting the local farming community makes sense on the most basic level.
You can feel good about yourself while enjoying a tasty meal that was grown
locally. Here are some of the benefits:
- The food is delicious.
- Locally-grown food obviously does not cause as much pollution due to less travel time.
- Keeping family farms alive keeps rural landscape alive, supporting less sprawl.
- Spending your money where you live keeps your community thriving.
- As a tourist looking for local flavor makes your visit more authentic. Folks
don't travel to Italy looking for a good burrito. If you come to our
town taste what we grow.
- Homestead is particularly blessed with a booming community of small farms and food producers.
Try our corn, our beans, our egg plant, our
squash, our peppers, our tomatoes and especially the heirloom tomatoes
which have enormous flavor.
- If you know your farmer you know where to ask questions; the shorter the route from the farm to your table (at home or in a restaurant), the more knowledge you have at hand and the more flavor you have on your plate.
