PhilosophyBuying local is critical for the community to be sustainable. Not only does buying from locally owned and operated businesses help our community meet its own needs but it helps the community to minimize our dependence upon fossil fuels, lessens the build-up of toxic metals, minerals and synthetic chemicals, and helps reduce our encroachment upon nature. |
