Shopping at farmers markets in London supports the local community. When you buy locally grown fruit and vegetables, you stimulate the economy, promote sustainable living, and you increase access to fresh, nutritious food.
Locally grown produce helps our environment because the food is closer to them; it’s fresher, and there is less of a carbon footprint. Ontario farmers spend countless hours to have many of our favourite seasonal produce available.
Buying local produce also means there are more options for sustainably grown and harvested options. Not only will you notice a more flavourful experience, but you also get more nutrients in your meals.
