Emma's Food For Life is dedicated to buying only the freshest local seasonal ingredients direct from farmers. We are active members of our local Buy Fresh Buy Local campaign and PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture). We believe that we can make a difference in our local economy by being conscious of where our food is sourced from. Buying fresh, local food also ensures that our customers are eating the most nutrient packed foods available.
10 Reasons to Buy Local Food:
Local food is fresher & tastes great. Food from local farms does not have to travel as far, often reaching you within 24 hours after being harvested.
Local food is good for you. The sooner after harvest fresh foods are consumed, the more nutrients they retain.
Local food supports family farms. Buying directly from local farmers puts dollars directly in the pockets of those raising your food, helping farm families stay on the land.
Local food preserves open space. Keeping farms economically viable is critical to preserving our beautiful rural landscapes. Buying local food helps ensure that farmland can remain active well into the future.
Local food strengthens the local economy. Buying local keeps your dollars circulating many times over in the community.
Local food builds community. Getting to know the farmers who grow your food builds relationships based on understanding and trust, the foundation of strong communities.
Local food saves energy. The average food item travels over 1,500 miles from farm to table resulting in increased energy costs associated with transportation and packaging.
Local food builds food security. When you buy food directly from local farmers, you know more about where your food is coming from and how it was produced.
Local food keeps taxes down. Farms commonly contribute more in taxes than they require in services, unlike other kinds of development which typically contribute less in taxes than the cost of services they require.
Local food is an investment in the future. By supporting local farmers today, you help ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow.
