Buy Local

Learn why it is so important to buy local! Buy Local is often linked to locally grown foods, but the idea goes much further. It is about understanding how our buying choices affect the economic health of our community. 

When you choose local businesses, you help keep storefronts open and money circulating close to home. Even small purchases support local jobs, strengthen the tax base, and fund community services. Shopping local also helps sustain the charities, schools, and youth programs supported by those businesses. Join Illinois Extension to learn more about the importance of shopping local.
