Buying local produce is not only good for the farmers, but it’s good for the bees too! Industrial strength and even common gardening pesticides are both really harmful to bees, and can even kill a queen bee, which is terrifying. Local farmers who grow organic foods won’t be using them, so the food is safer for the bees and for you.

]]>What someone at a grocery store can’t tell you about that new cheese you want to try is how it actually tastes. When you go to a cheesemonger, you can find out what other cheeses are close to it in taste and texture, so you can make an informed decision before you by.
Cheesemongers are trained to wrap and store cheese the way it’s supposed to in order for it to have the longest shelf life. With the cheese you buy at the store, it’s likely that you won’t know how to store it and it’ll go bad quicker.
Pro Tip: If you already have cheese from the store and want to store it correctly, here’s what you should do. Take the cheese out of the plastic and wrap it in cheese, wax, or parchment paper. Label it with the date it was bought, and put it into a releasable plastic bag.

]]>Some people are right to say that a butcher can charge more than a supermarket for meat. However, buying meat from a butcher can also save you money by offering you a wider variety of cheap cuts of meat a grocery store won’t sell. You can also just ask the butcher for a cheap cut of meat and they’ll point you in the right direction.
Since butchers normally butcher the whole animal themselves they try to sell every part of it, which means they create a lot less waste than a supermarket. Industrialized meat throws away a lot of the animal, which does not only create more waste, it means they go through more animals, which isn’t good for the environment.
If you’re someone who doesn’t know how to cook meat well, all you have to do is ask the butcher what you should with the meat. They will often know how to make it taste the best since they are so familiar with the product.
