Great post on buying local. I am getting more into buying local and supporting small businesses or farmers. The food tastes better when it’s local, you know more about it, and you have more control.

Great article! To be honest, you left me feeling a bit convicted (in a good way!). I barely eat locally grown food, eeek :/ It’s something I’ve been wanting to do forever, but it’s tough living with my parents – making different shopping trips and all. But now that I’m 23, I’m feeling like it’s time to stop using that excuse!!

Great informative post! I’ve been thinking about the benefits of eating locally a lot lately and plan to check out the local farmers’ market soon!

Great post! I live for shopping at our farmers’ market. It is fairly small, and I hope it continues to grow!

I love farmers’ markets! The food always tastes so so so much better!
I just about died when I saw how cheap those strawberries are! I’d be in heaven :P Strawberries have only just come into season here, so they’re pricey.

I would love to eat more locally grown food, but the truth is I find many farmers’ markets are more expensive than the grocery store, and with my budget I need to get more for my money. When I can, I buy Ontario produce because I do agree that it tastes better, and I like that there is less of an enviromental impact, but it comes down to $$ unfortunately. I would grow my own if I could…that would be ideal!
