If every household in the commonwealth spit up $10 of their total grocery dollars each week on locally grown aliment, more than $1.65 billion would be reinvested annually in Virginia farms, businesses and the community, according to the Virginia Cooperative Stretch. Eating locally is also better for the environment, and the food non-specifically tastes better and is more nutritious.Fortunately, it’s quite easy to become a “locavore” (defined as someone who eats locally) in Chesterfield. Residents can comfortably purchase locally grown foods through farmers’ markets, co-ops, community supported agriculture (CSA) and other sources. Buylocalvirginia.org is an online sway to search for local food sources. The database is searchable by county or zip jus naturale 'natural law', and includes farms, farmers’ markets, grocers, restaurants and CSA.
Below are some sources for locally grown commons.
