article Why buy from your local farmer?

We started Kakadoodle with our own rainbow chicken eggs but realized we could do so much more to feed our community with better food. That’s when we started to connect with other local farmers to see how we can better bridge the gap between their real (better-for-you) food and our community seeking healthier options. We are so proud of all of the local offerings we have now between microgreens to grass-fed bison.

Supporting your local farmer has many benefits, both for individuals and for the broader community. Luckily, Kakadoodle makes it easier for you to shop with several local farmers in one spot AND have it delivered right to your doorstep. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider supporting your local farmer:

1. Freshness and quality: Local farmers often grow and sell their produce within a short distance from where it is consumed, which means that it can be harvested at its peak freshness and quality.

2. Seasonal variety: Local farmers often offer a wider variety of fruits and vegetables that are in season in your region, which can help you to eat a more varied and nutritious diet.

3. Environmental sustainability: By buying local food, you can reduce the carbon footprint of your food consumption by supporting agriculture that requires fewer transportation miles, and often uses fewer chemical inputs than large-scale industrial agriculture.

4. Supporting local economy: When you buy from local farmers, you are supporting the local economy by keeping money within the community, and often supporting smaller businesses that might struggle to compete with larger corporations.

5. Building relationships: Buying directly from local farmers can help you build relationships with the people who grow your food, and give you a deeper connection to your food and where it comes from.

Overall, supporting local farmers can be a great way to eat fresh, high-quality food while also supporting your community and the environment. We love that we are basically a local farmer’s market that delivers to your door. That’s why we are excited to launch a new Kakadoodle Basket that let’s you try $75 worth of products that we offer. Keeping to the value of local farming, each package will have a unique blend of seasonal items. This makes a great housewarming or hostess gift!

As always, thank you for your continued support of Kakadoodle.
