Rent-A-Farmer

It’s even better for the planet to buy local than organic.  Why? Shipping.  Fruit at a farmer’s market, for instance, travels approximately 45 miles to get to you.  The same piece of fruit could travel 1,500 miles before reaching your supermarket.
And better still than your hometown farmer’s market: Join and Community Supported Agriculture cooperative (CSA).  You buy a share in the farmers’ organization for $10 to $20 a week, and the return on your investment – the fresh harvest – gets dropped off weekly.  Not only do you support your local farms, you get to eat what’s ion season in your area at its absolute peak.

Eco-Impact - If 10,000 people purchased their weekly fruit and vegetables from a local farmer's market, they'd have the same environmental impact as removing 17 cars from the road a year.
