Buying from local farmers and producers helps to support small businesses in your community, which can help to strengthen the local economy.
When you buy local, you can often get products that are fresher and of higher quality than those that have been shipped from far away. This is especially true for perishable items like produce and meat.
Buying local can help to reduce the carbon footprint associated with shipping products long distances. It also helps to promote sustainable agriculture practices and protect local farmland and wildlife habitats.
Buying from local farmers and producers allows you to build connections with the people who grow and make the products you consume. This can create a sense of community and help to promote a greater understanding of where our food comes from.
Local produce is often picked at the peak of ripeness, which means it may be more nutrient-dense than produce that has been shipped long distances. Additionally, local producers are often more likely to use sustainable and natural farming practices, which can be healthier for both consumers and the environment.
WEEK JULY 21 - JULY 31, 2023
The importance of ‘buying local’ to consumers, the economy and the environment is fundamental to SMADC’s mission to support farms and future of agriculture.
The Buy Local Challenge was created in 2007 by the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) as a regional promotion for Southern Maryland and is now promoted statewide in partnership with Maryland Department of Agriculture.
