Buy Local Creston  Buy Local & Shop Local & Food Hub campaigns are increasingly adding support to local communities around the world.  There are so many reasons why supporting local businesses and food producers is so very important.  The most important being that it stimulates the local economy, thereby ensuring employment and an array of services in your area.  It also reduces the amount of fossil fuels associated with travel and shipping, plus all the packaging that is now almost eliminated.  There are a lot of other benefits, but these examples easily show the positive impact just because consumers are making that conscious choice.  We have been lucky enough to be included in several different campaigns, from Buy BC, Shop Local and now the Buy Local Creston program.
