Local businesses are the heart of our community, and they need our support!
Buying locally is great for your whole town. It helps boost the local economy, and even makes your community more sustainable.
Here are some ideas!
- Stop by a farmer’s market: Check online to see which farmer’s markets are in your area.
- Buy seasonal produce: Seasonal produce is more likely to come from a local seller.
- Eat at farm-to-table restaurants: Farm-to-table restaurants get their ingredients from local farms.
- Pick up fresh seafood: If you live near the coast, see if your local fishing community holds any special fishermen’s markets.
- Sign up for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): CSA lets you get weekly produce from local farms.You can find a nearby CSA here: https://www.localharvest.org.
- Frequent a local bookstore: Look online to see what kinds of bookstores are near you. When you have some free time, stop by the bookshop and see if any titles strike your fancy.
- Use eBay: Narrow down your search via your zip code.This is a great way to see what’s being sold in your community. If you can, buy something from a local seller instead of a more popular store.
