Buy Local, Buy Fresh

Did you know that most produce grown in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles before it gets sold?  Shipping in food from around the world takes a toll on the environment.  By choosing to eat local produce, we can reduce air pollution, support local farmers and enjoy fresh, tasty food.

Here’s a link to some of the locally-owned farmers markets around Indiana.  Below the link you will find a list of some of the community farmers’ markets in our area of Indiana.
