Did you know?

When you grow produce in your own backyard, not only do you save on the fuel costs for each meal, but you also become part of a collective trend that diminishes demand for produce transported long distances. When you choose to eat only fruits and vegetables in season, you directly support your local growers and help the environment. The resulting reduced demand for "out of season" produce will slash the number of food miles being consumed from all the imports that travel thousands of miles to get here.
