Think Global, Eat Local
    Thursday, August 19,  2010
   By: Mobile Bay Staff  

It's that time of year again! Baldwin county blueberries, summer squash, tomatoes, watermelon, fresh-from-the-garden greens...the kitchen beckons just hearing the keys click in mention of these delights!

Eating local is not only healthier (less traveling time means more nutrients at the table) it's also beneficial to the local community. Supporting local farmers helps sustain, and even boost, the local economy, not to mention that items bought in farmers' markets often cost less than supermarkets. Buying and eating local is good for body, soul and even your pocketbook, too.
