NORTHERN MICHIGAN – Small family farms are a great source of beef, pork and poultry.
Because local farmers are unable to simply pick up and move their operations to new locations when business isn’t going as anticipated, buying food locally also allows you to support small farms that are primarily using sustainable techniques.
Purchasing meat locally is particularly important and beneficial not only for your health and budget but also for the environment.
Also, when you eat foods close to your home and their point of origin, you are choosing foods that have not had to travel quite literally thousands of miles to get to you (not uncommon occurrence for commercially-produced products and commercial grocers).
