Why You Should Buy Your Food From Local Farmers

You probably heard of the organic trend that has been gaining popularity. Some people think it's ridiculous, while others have jumped on the band wagon. What is organic? Organic is food in its original from, without anything added and without anything taken away. That's it! No pesticides, no GMOs, no hormones or antibiotics. The product is pure, untouched, and fresh!

Sometimes organic food is expensive, even though it is worth it, maybe your budget wont allow it. So what's the next best thing? Local, Farm-raised food! There is less of a chance for animal cruelty and you are supporting your community.

I don't think the population realizes how inhumane and unhealthy mass-produced food actually is! Here is a
link to an example!

I know after I watched this video, I was saddened and angry. Yes, you are eating these animals but for goodness sake, can't they treat them humanely when they are alive? This post made me understand why some people become vegitarian.  I have nothing against eating animal meet for nourishment, but meat in this form is not okay. 

This is a perfect example of why it is in both your, and the animal's best interest to buy your food local. Local food is not mass-produced, local food is more humanely raise and butchered, and there is less of a chance of disease. Buying local will also help your community. Farming isn't an easy career, and sometimes farmers really struggle financially. Buying local will encourage farmers to offer more and better products and will help the farmers live life a little less stressed. 

So eat organic if you can, but if you cannot, eat local! There are many websites that tell you where your local farmers are. Click here to find out! Have a great week!
