WHY Eat Local?

1

Eat more nutrients

Fruits and veggies lose most of their nutrients within 24 hours of being picked. Locally grown food, harvested at peak ripeness, maintains maximum nutrient density, unlike produce transported long distances.

2

Support Local Farmers

Supporting local farmers directly bolsters the local economy. Money spent here stays close to home and can be reinvested directly into businesses and services within our Spartanburg community! PAL works with almost 35 local farmers.

3

Take care of the environment

Eating local benefits the environment by reducing carbon emissions, preserving resources through sustainable farming, and supporting local economies.

4

Nourish your body

Fruits and veggies are full of antioxidants. These are vital in helping prevent certain cancers and heart diseases. They also help improve our immune system and provide us with important vitamins and minerals.

5

Help families in need eat healthy too

When you purchase from the PAL Food Hub, you're not only choosing nutrient rich foods for your family, but you're giving families in need access to healthy food, too. Each purchase from the PAL Food Hub allows us to donate fresh, local produce to members of our community that otherwise might not have access to nutrient dense foods.
