What does locally sourced ingredients mean?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Locally grown foods are grown by area farmers or gardeners for sale in their neighbor's store or at the farmers' markets. They don't have to be transported more than 90 minutes from the field they were grown in. Normally they are the freshest foods you can get, and each farm has a slightly different flavor, so it's fun to find your favorite.

Answer 3

Advantages of locally grown produce:

• The food/eggs are FRESH. They were picked within the last day and are transported less than 90minutes from the ground they were grown in.
• It keeps the money in the community.
• The flavor of the food is different from those products that are commercially grown. Even eggs have a different flavor and they were laid in the last week - not the last month.
