The buzz lately speaks of the importance of supporting your local farmer, grocer and small business owners. Many people are inclined to shop at a chain because they are guaranteed lower prices and better selections but at what cost? If you are saving a dollar the discount is often paid by an intangible. "Cheap" is a misunderstood term of oversimplification. The word bargain doesn't have a backdoor with an image of an impoverished laborer in unsatisfactory working conditions. Perhaps if it did, many would understand that nothing is really discounted or cheap.
A locally spent dollar supports our economy three times more than spending at a chain, franchise or corporation. We know where our products come from, we revitalize our community and help sustain it's families. Minimize your carbon footprint by purchasing closer to your home. Support your local farmers, crafters, artisans and artists. Everything is fresher, more nutritious when local...and it feeds the soul! Sweetfern has many local friends and the list keeps growing.
