Locally sourced?

1. The freshness factor. As you mentioned, when it comes especially to produce this can play a major role in it.

2. Smaller carbon footprint. The less distance traveled from producer to consumer reduces the carbon footprint.

3. Growing the local economy. This one is really my favorite. When you spend money at a store that sources locally, or go to a farmer's market, or eat at a restaurant that sources locally, a higher percentage of those funds will stay within your local economy and circulate around.

#3 is the main point.

You are helping local farms instead of giving your money to other states
