Why is it important to buy locally? Much of our food supply travels on average about 1,500 miles from the farm where it was grown to your table. Ensuring our food can endure the rigors of this travel, it is often harvested before ripe or preserved in some other manner during its trip to the store. Locally produced foods in your area are likely to taste better and be fresher. Purchasing items from local producers also strengthens local economies as more money spent on these items stays in your community and supports your regional family farmers. Buying locally can be better for your health and helps to protect the environment.

The mission of Barbour’s Farms and Markets is to provide, fresh, healthy produce to our customers and to provide a safe, friendly working environment for our employees. We are planning to keep with the ever changing consumer demands for fresh local produce. Lee Welty is the fifth generation family member devoted to growing and selling produce directly to the local community.
Lee thinks “Your family deserves fresh local foods”
