SUPPORT LOCAL FARMS
Shop with Hoosier Harvest Market
for the freshest food, grown and produced locally
by small farmers and businesses.
BUYING LOCAL MEANS BETTER FLAVOR AND NUTRITION
-
Commercial produce in retail stores is often a week old by the time it travels over 1,500 miles to get here, often requiring preservatives
-
Commercial produce is sometimes picked too early, making fruit, for example, hard and tasteless.
-
Locally grown food, on the other hand, is harvested at its peak in taste and nutrition for your immediate purchase.
BUYING LOCAL KEEPS THE MONEY IN OUR COMMUNITY
-
Commercial food profits go to a middleman or giant business outside our community and state, whereas buying local keeps the money cycling here in our community, helping it to grow and prosper.
-
Buying fresh produce from local producers helps preserve local farms and our precious rural community.
BUYING LOCAL ENSURES A SAFE AND SECURE FOOD
-
Getting to know our local food producers, their ethics, cultural heritage, and farming practices provides confidence in a safe supply of healthy food for our families.
-
Buying from local farmers helps renew rural, small-scale agriculture in our communities and helps guarantee a consistent flow of healthy food year round.
