Eat Local Month!

Did you know? August is Eat Local month! Eating local can mean many things, from eating locally sourced produce from the farmers market to eating at a local mom-and-pop shop instead of a brand name chain restaurant. Eating locally has a lot of benefits. Not only is the food usually fresher and tastes better, but it supports the local economy. The money you spend circulates in the community: it goes to making the local business even better, it contributes taxes to the city, which overall benefits the entire city. Not to mention, the variety of options you can choose from when eating local. Eating locally also gives you the option of connecting personally with who makes your food. Lynn has a lot of cultural flavors to offer from banh mi to pastelitos, as well as new spins on American classics like burgers and fries. Try to go somewhere new nearby in Lynn this month!
