The herbs and other plants for sale at downtown Trail’s Ferraro Foods are locally sourced from Georama Growers in Nelson. Sourcing products locally has benefits in a number of areas, such as buying local cuts down on fuel emissions because it takes less fuel to transport goods to market. Also, buying local produce encourages biodiversity. Instead of a region specializing in one or two crops and exporting long distances, local farmers can grow many different varieties, which is good for healthy soil and prevents widespread plant disease.
