Eating local means more for the local economy.
A dollar spent locally generates twice as much income for the local economy.
Locally grown produce is fresher.
This freshness not only affects the taste of your food, but the nutritional value.
Local food just tastes better.
Locally grown fruits and vegetables have more time to ripen naturally.
Tree ripeness ensures improved quality, flavor and freshness.
Buying local food keeps us in touch with the seasons. By eating with the seasons, we are eating foods when they are at their peak flavor as well as most abundant and least expensive.
Local food translates to more variety. When a farmer is producing food that will not travel a long distance, will have a shorter shelf life, and does not have a high-yield demand, the farmer is free to try small crops of various fruits and vegetables that would probably never make it to a large supermarket.
Supporting local providers supports responsible land development.
When you buy local, you give those with local open space—farms and pastures—an economic reason to stay open and undeveloped.
Our family and employees sincerely thank you for buying your fresh fruits and vegetables directly from us. Please let us know if there is anything at all that we can do to improve your shopping experience at Scholl Orchards.
