The Power of Local


Now that gas prices have increased dramatically and “Price Creep” is raising the cost of goods from diapers to food stuffs, now is the time to invest in local markets.

Shopping in local oriented markets curbs the price creep phenomena in many ways because of distance. If you are getting your milk from a local dairy farm or a farmer’s market, chances are you probably will see very little if any increase in cost – the distance for the farmer is short and gas is hardly a factor. If you are now paying more for milk, why not seek out your local options and get healthier food for the same cost?
Buy local – support local. The power of local can change us all.
