Does Eating Close to Home Apply Only to Farmrers Market

Eating close to home also means buying close to home. In other words, when you buy your food from a local store you support your local community. When you purchase from a chain store owned outside your local community, you're supporting a corporation. Even on a personal level, you're supporting yourself. When you go to local butcher, they become your assistant. If you come to let then what you want to make, they can usually suggest which meat works best. And just like a local produce, they usually know where your food is from.
