Riesbeck's sells local produce

Why Locally Grown?

It is fresher and that means it is tasty and nutritious.

Nutritionally produce can be eaten the day it is picked versus produce that has traveled hundreds or thousands of miles and sits under fluorescent bulbs.

Freshly picked fruit and vegetables contain substantially more nutrients. Vitamin content is depleted by light, temperature and time. Imported produce may present lower levels of vitamins and is often treated with waxes, gases or other chemicals.

Buying local aids the environment and helps lower fuel consumption and aids in environmental irritants and pollution.

Riesbeck's supports the local economy.
