Freshness

In fact, the eggs, milk, and other food you buy might have been produced the same or previous day that you buy them.

Economic Benefits

You might get the products at a lower price because the farmer does not have to worry about paying a distributor or supplier. They can keep costs lower and not have to increase prices to pay for distribution or suppliers.

Further, you help out a family farm that may rely on funds to stay operational. You can help a local family farm stay in business and avoid giving your money to a multi-million dollar big box retailer that already has enough profits.
