"Supporting local farmers through shopping at a farmers' market cuts down on the miles your food travels from where it is grown to your plate. The average grocery store's produce in the United States travels 1,500 miles from the farm to your plate. All of this traveling on freighters, airplanes and trucks takes plenty of fossil fuels. Supporting local farmers means you'll be using less packaging and shipping materials. It also means you'll be supporting people who care about their land and water."
