"Get Fresh -  Buy Local"

               Buy Locally Grown - It's  Thousands of Miles Fresher!

     Tips for Buying Local

Use the map (click here) and listings to find the farms that offer the food and other items you want 

Bring a cooler with ice packs for your meats, fish and other perishable items

Always remember to wash you hands before and after handling food 

Wash all vegetables and fruits before eating

If you are shopping at a farmer's market, be aware that not every product sold is necessarily locally grown.  If in doubt, ask the farmer or retailer where the food came from

If you have further questions about the food listed on this map, ask the farmer or retailer. 

And don't forget to tell them that you saw their farm/business on the "Get Fresh" map!

Encourage you local grocers and restaurants to include locally grown foods on their shelves and menus
