Shopping for produce grown in your area is a great way to save money: Without shipping and packaging costs, farmers can offer lower prices and still make a profit. You’ll be able to afford even more great foods for kidney health!
It supports local businesses: Many of us have tried to make an effort to shop locally to help support business in the area. Keeping these people in business usually has a beneficial effect on the neighborhood either by providing jobs or bringing in tourism/ new community members.
It’s good for the environment: Shopping locally cuts down in transportation, helping lower overall emissions in the food industry. Many of these farmers also use sustainable practices and less, if any, chemicals.*
So, go ahead and visit a local farmers market or an independent grocery store that sources the majority of their products locally. Your kidneys will thank you.
