There are many reasons to buy local food, including reducing energy use, reducing sprawl and increasing connection to the environment as well as fresh food just plain tastes better.
Concord residents have many ways to participate and support the local food movement, including:
- CSAs [Community Supported Agriculture]: CSAs are a great way to support local farms and receive great fresh produce. While there are no CSAs in Concord there are several in bordering towns. Learn more.
