1. Locally grown food tastes better.
Food grown in your own community was probably picked within the past day or two. It's crisp, sweet and loaded with flavor. Produce flown or trucked in from California, Florida, Chile or Holland is, quite understandably, much older or it is picked green so it can ripen in transit. It rarely does, so it does not taste the way it would if ripe.
I couldn't say it any better. Local food is the way to go!
