Local is really important as a deep investment into your local economy and developing a relationship with the person who produces your food or gives you a service ( like Creative Blossoms does ). Not only do local businesses generate more local income, jobs, and tax receipts, but they also tend to utilize advertising, banks, and services in the local community. In fact, a dollar spent at  Creative Blossoms and other local stores turns over seven times in that community; while the same dollar spent at a 800 florist or chain store like Path-Mark only turns over 2 times. Buying locally builds a healthy community on many levels. (For case studies on the economic, social, and environmental impacts of buying local visit the Business Alliance for Local Living Economics web-site as I have and do often, to be conscious of changes, no matter how small). Not only can you support the economic health of your community and offer security to your hardworking neighbors, but you can eliminate the uncertainties of farming business by talking to your farmer at the farmers market and seeing first-hand how your food is produced. It is also helpful in being able to purchase food that is often fresher.Buying local creates food security, which will become more and more important in the near future. We at Creative Blossoms couldn’t be more enthusiastic about buying local, and hope that these comments will shed some light on why you should do the same.
