The newly revised Local Foods Guide includes all of the Fairfield County Farmers Markets and all of the local producers and the products they sell as well as their contact information.
When you buy from local producers you will reap the benefit of eating tasty, freshly harvests and produced food. As you benefit your health by eating local, you will help the local economy. Your money will go directly to local farmers, who patronize local business.
When you buy directly from the farmer, you are re-establishing a time-honored connection between the consumer and the grower. Knowing the farmer gives you the insight into the seasons, the weather, the challenges and the joy of raising food.
