local farms
Community food sources
Local farms are agricultural operations near a community, typically smaller than industrial farms and selling directly to nearby consumers.
The term carries connotations of freshness, sustainability, and economic support for neighbors: We get our eggs from local farms.
What counts as "local" varies—it might mean within a county, a state, or simply close enough to visit.
