Local food is delicious. And helps me sleep better at night.

Carbon "credits" carbon "footprint"...blah, it's a scam. Look at all the companies coming up that want to "help" you "offset your carbon impact". Modern day pardoners is all they are really. It's a bougie way of paying off the sins of the SUV or house with a "great room" set to 72 degrees all year long. I support small farms because of the people running them and the quality of food they produce.

To be honest, I always try to buy local when I have the option, but the whole carbon footprint thing is not the reason why. I buy local simply because I like supporting local business. It's as simple as that.
