Local Area Farmers Grow For Henderson County Grocery Stores
I saw this sign a while back and was pleased to see that a local area chain grocery store was purchasing local produce from local farmers.
Selling foods that are locally grown is good for many reasons. First and foremost it supports our local farmers and assists our community to grow and to hold onto jobs. But it also cuts down on gas and trucking expenses, and allows our foods to be delivered with less dependence on fuel.
I have seen other signs throughout the area back roads for other crops as well. I commend Mr. Ingles for using local growers and supporting our local job market.
