Buy from Local Organic Farmers



Buy Local


I pledge to buy organic produce and products from local farmers and to

promote this message to others.

From the Local Farm to Your Table

Buying locally grown, organic food provides healthy choices for you. Locally grown food retains more nutrients and is less likely to cause foodborne illnesses than food that is shipped from far away.



• Buying local is good for the economy. In Maryland, if every household purchased just $12 worth of farm products for eight weeks (basically the summer season), over $200 million would be put back into the pockets of our farmers.



Buying local is good for the planet! Farms are green areas that help to recharge our aquifers and cleanse the air. Buying from a local farm cuts down on the distance food travels, reducing the consumption of oil and carbon emissions nationwide.



Organic farmland can help reduce greenhouse gases. More carbon is stored in the soil because of a lot of organic matter and microorganisms.
