Why should customers buy local and seasonal products?
In basic terms the purchase of produce from local suppliers means that the local economy benefits. This includes the cash flow through the area, employment for those people working for the supplier and the off shoot "other businesses" in the locality which will see the benefits of the financial turn over across the environment.
season products; Its a fact that when not in season there is a higher cost implication in "transporting in" from other countries or states. This impacts of the wholesale and retail pricing of the products as it encounters additional costs in transport. The suppliers of that product will be thereafter spending in their own country etc. Add to this is the additional cost of growing locally out of season produce. The costs are high as the produce is "forced", it is frequently, if vegetables, fruit etc costly to heat manually pick and crop and then it has to be priced against any-other supplier who may ship in.
