Our organization is a strong advocate of local commerce for more than a few reasons. The few that I will mention are the obvious benefits of using less energy to get to your plate. Locally grown means less travel time. Also, local food usually uses much less pesticides and harmful chemicals to be grown and is grown by space-conscious farmers who utilize as little land as possible to grow the food they sell. And the food they sell is often grown from seeds that are native or original and in no way genetically modified. PLUS, the food is so fresh, once you try it you will never want to go back to Wal-mart (or your choice of supermarket) again. We took a trip there Sun., Sept. 27, to allow the club members to experience the long tradition and all of the great food that's available! Check out there Web site and good eating to you all!
