I just wanted to mention some interesting information that I have heard and would like to share with you.
If you eat local produce, you are not only supporting the local farmers (and their families) financially but you are also eating food that is not processed. There are numerous studies and research to indicate that when foods are processed they contain less nutrients.
This also means that there is a distinct health benefit that when it comes getting your nutrients from salads and vegetables (and fruit) the jury and verdict is in - "fresh is best" (these foods don't have to be organic if cost is an issue).
To find out where your local area check out the local markets or farmers produce associations for your nearest location.
In Australia go to Regional Farmers Markets www.rfm.net.au/)
