Reasons to Support Local



Supporting local keeps more money in the local economy. Locally owned business build a sense of stronger community by keeping up the ecstatic of a neighborhood, by linking neighbors economically and socially, and by contributing to local causes.
One of a Kind business often select products based, not on a national sales or trends, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, this provides more unique and specialized product choices.
Supporting the Environment. Buying local has less impact on the environment because items such as fruit and vegetables do not need to be shipped across the country to be purchases.  Therefore, produce is fresher and in season so you are getting a richer variety of food throughout the year.  In addition, local business often have nicer up keep and good use of their space unlike sprawling strip malls and huge outlet centers.

Above all you can have a sense of pride that you know where your products are coming from and who they are supporting. They are support you and your community!
