What does grown mean?

Locally grown means that the food/eggs were produced in the area you live in. Rarely is a locally grown food transported more than 90minutes away from the ground it was grown in. It also means that local money stays local, and farmers/gardeners in your area have a chance to sell their excess products. There are products that are grown in commercial fields and labeled "locally grown" because the farm is just down the road from you, but generally the term "locally grown" will refer to the smaller producer that might sell his goods to local restaurants, grocery stores and at the farmer's market.

What else can I help you with?
