Local farmers often struggle to survive because we are importing or buying from large corporations.
Sure large corporations and importing provide us with new products, but the big reason for it is to make more profit. The next time you head into a grocery store, make sure you purchase things that are produced close to home so you can help reduce transportation pollution and keep farmers in existence.
Although there isn't much local fruits and vegetable during the cold months, you can still support this community by purchasing local jams, meats, sauce etc..
I'm not asking you to ban import products, instead I'm asking you to eat locally more often.

ah, the 100-mile diet trend...a good concept, but i don't know if i could stick to that, since some fruits and vegetables that i enjoy eating are not grown locally.
