Buying local encompasses purchasing locally grown produce and supporting local businesses and the arts. It's also environmentally beneficial - less travel conserves fuel and produces fewer emissions. Benefits include:

  sustaining small scale farms
  keeping cash flow within the community
  helping to withstand an economic downturn
  strengthening the local tax base
  sustaining a vibrant downtown
  employing our neighbors
  investing in our future
