    Dependable fresh food, better prices (cutting out carbon-heavy supply chain and grocery stores), supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these benefits (or others not listed here) inspires you the most?

    Biking is great for physical fitness and wonderful for mental health, as well. I just need to watch out for crazy drivers.
