Why Buy Local?
The concept of buying local is simply to buy food grown as close to your home as possible. With industrialization, our food is now grown and processed in fewer and fewer locations, meaning it has to travel further to reach the average consumer’s refrigerator. Although this method of production is considered efficient and economically profitable for large agribusiness corporations, it is harmful to the environment, consumers and rural communities.
Together we are creating a sustainable farmer's marketplace...
Sustainable agriculture is a way of raising food that is healthy for consumers and animals, does not harm the environment, respects animals, provides a fair wage to the farmer, and supports and enhances rural communities.
Sustainable farms are run by family farmers who are hardworking, honest and sincere people. They work all hours of the day and night to bring you the freshest, tastiest, best quality food available.
You are an important part of sustainable farming….
Where you spend your money, influences everything. Since you are choosing to purchase your produce locally through South Mountain Veggies, you are influencing how farmers are farming. This mutually supportive relationship between local farmers, growers and YOU helps to create an economically stable farm operation in which members are assured the highest quality produce at a fair price. In return, farmers and growers are guaranteed a reliable market for a diverse selection of crops. Together we are saving the world, one bite at a time.
