Hen House Market supports the local farmer and you can too!  Why Buy Local?

Buy Local for your HEALTH - Locally grown, seasonal food is fresh and wholesome with superior taste and nutrition.  Eating fresh foods in season is vital to a healthy diet; it also promotes and supports an active, involved lifestyle.

Buy Local for your ENVIRONMENT - Farms protect watersheds and provide biodiversity, not to mention they enhance and beautify our landscapes. Local grown foods require less packaging and transportaion, which means less waste and pollution.

Buy Local for your ECONOMY - Every dollar spent on local products helps support independent family farmers who provide jobs and recirculate dollars throughout the local economy; contributing to the community's economic health.

Buy Local for your HERITAGE - Local farms are disappearing at an alarming rate.  We are losing the land and a link to our ancestors.  Farms are natural classrooms and provide education, recreation, entertainment, and healthy outdoor experiences. Farms are our legacy; they keep the door open to the farms and farmers of tomorrow.

Watch for the Buy Fresh Buy Local signs throughout our stores.
