By using local vendors, you are participating and taking action to support local businesses. Supporting local vendors means getting food and other things not that far away. That means you are supporting local farms. By produce being from local farms, the amount of greenhouse gases can be significantly less.

Why is buying local so important?
Local food is fresh. By being fresh, it makes the food tastier and healthier.
Local food is more ripe because it does not have to travel as much as the other produce in grocery stores.
Eating local is green because you are promoting sustainable practices such as lessening the amount of air pollution and other activities that are increasing the amount of greenhouse gases.
Eating local food is seasonal. It helps you keep in touch with the season. For example, in the Fall you would eat a lot of pumpkin because that is the time of year for pumpkin and squash.
Local food enhances our environment and ecosystem by making the soil flourish
Lastly, buying local enriches our social community. It is so much more meaningful to hear who grew a certain product than to just pick up a item from the grocery store.
Charlotte has a year round farmers market. They sell all varieties of fruits and vegetables and even sell local honey!
