Welcome to the South Centre
Corridors Buy Fresh Buy Local
Chapter’s local produce guide. This
is a regional effort of South Centre
Corridors Resource Conservation &
Development (RC&D) Council and
our partners to connect consumers in
our communities to the freshest and
most delicious locally grown produce
and products available.
BUY FRESH BUY LOCAL opens new markets for family
farmers by educating consumers
about the benefits of eating locally, as
well as supporting the local farms
and producers throughout the region.
In Memoriam: Donald A. Bagshaw
Why Buy Local? Support Local Family Farms
With each local food purchase, you ensure that more of your money spent on food goes to the farmer.
Health & Nutritional Benefits
Knowing where your food comes from and how it is grown or raised enables you to choose safe food from farmers.
Protect The Environment
Local food does not have to travel far. This reduces carbon dioxide emissions and packing materials.
Strengthen Your Local Economy
Buying local food keeps your dollars circulating in your community.
Get Exceptional Taste & Freshness
Local food is fresher and tastes better than food shipped long distances from other states or countries. Local farmers can offer produce varieties bred for taste and freshness rather than for shipping and long shelf life.
