Why Eating Local Is Important To Health and Community

Louisiana life is wonderful for many reasons, and the variety of food available to us is definitely at the top of the list.  The Covington Farmer’s Market is in full swing with a great variety of produce and local foods.  By shopping locally, you are supporting your community and receiving a product that you can trust, because you know its origins.  Creole tomatoes grow very well here.  Why pay someone in California for your vegetables? Another big topic concerning food these days is genetic modification.  Small local farms follow more sustainable practices and often grow organically by default, whether they are certified or not.  Benefit your health and your community by eating local!
