Why Buy Local?
Local Produce
The local growing season is upon us!
We thought it would be a good time to remind folks of a few reasons why buying local is so important.

Locally grown produce is fresher
Produce grown locally is typically picked within 24 hours of your purchase, versus produce that was shipped for days or weeks.

Locally grown produce is better for you!
The nutritional value of fruits and vegetables declines with time after they are harvested. The fresher the vegetables are, the better they are for you!

Locally grown produce TASTES BETTER!
Fresh picked, locally grown produces tastes so much better because it is able to ripen longer on the vine for more flavor. Once you've tasted a local tomato or peach you will never go back!

Buying locally grown food is environmentally responsible.
When you buy local, you reduce carbon emissions and packing materials, lessening your environmental footprint.

Buying locally grown food helps preserve our open spaces.
The local farming landscape will only survive as long as farms are financially viable. When you buy local food, you do your part to protect the agricultural landscape, keeping New England. . .well, New England!

City Feed features local produce from over 10* local farms!
It's like a farmer's market
every day of the week!


This Growing Season at City Feed, look for fresh picked produce from: Enterprise Farm, Stillman's Farm, Allandale Farm, Eva's Organics, Applefield Farm, Silverbrook Farm, Blue Heron Organic Farm, The Food Project, Pete's Green's & more!

*Selection may vary depending on availability. Limited selection
