LOCAL PRODUCERS
Buying locally grown produce affords great benefits in terms of reducing our carbon dioxide footprint. When the produce is grown organically, or without the use of extensive hormones, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers the environmental benefits are magnified. By listing the following local producers, we are not claiming to endorse them, or certify their produce, merely identify their existence to allow consumers to find them and make personal judgments regarding their product.
