Sponsored: Buying local year round
For many of us the idea of buying local foods to support our community makes sense in the summer months when fruits and vegetables are in season. But what about the rest of the year?
The good news is that you can support local farmers, growers, producers, and food makers all year long.At Ingles Markets our definition of “local” corresponds with our footprint, i.e. products from NC, SC, TN and GA.You may even see products in your store that are made or produced within just a few miles from your home!
Depending on your definition of local, look for products like these:
• Produce: sprouts and fresh herbs, honey, jams and fruit butters
• Bakery: fresh breads
• Grocery: salsas, snack items, coffee, bread mixes and more
