Great Reasons to Buy Local Food!

Local food should be fresher and healthier because it's less likely to contain preservatives, or be processed

Local food should use less packaging as it won't have to be transported for many miles

Local food should be better value, especially if you buy in season

Buying local keeps money in the local economy by supporting all parts of the supply chain

Buying local supports our farmers and growers which helps protect the special environment and landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and other surrounding areas

Local food supplies won’t be so directly affected by worldwide events beyond our control

Fewer food miles is good news for the long term sustainability of our planet
