Cortland County Farmers’ Market Guide 2010

Do you know all of the benefits of buying your food locally?

It supports the local economy - Buying locally-produced products helps support small local businesses as well as the local farmers who provide the products for sale;
It produces healthier foods - Local foods are more nutritious because of the plentiful vitamins and minerals they contain;
It produces fresher foods - Buying local food means food makes it to your home faster and is, therefore, fresher;
It’s environmentally friendly - Local foods require less packaging and travel less distances, saving on waste and pollution;
It creates access to the people who grow your food - Buying local food allows for you to build a personal relationship with the person who has been with your food from the beginning so you know where it came from.

“Our local farmers provide us with fresh products right in our communities. Why not get your meat, dairy, produce, flowers, and any locally-raised or grown product from a small farm near you? Not only will it give you the best product for your family, you’ll also be doing your part in helping your local economy.”

— Assemblyman Gary Finch
