There are multiple benefits to getting to know your local farmer.
1) You have access to healthier food
2) You won't have to go to some fancy smancy organic food store to overpay for your meat/produce.
3) Its good for your local economy to buy direct from local people.
4) You KNOW whats in your food.
5) It's better for the environment.
6) You make a friend.
Buying from a local farmer for my food has helped me lose a ton of weight, stop snoring and overall, I have more energy. I stopped buying fast food junk and decided to eat prepared meals. It is a little bit more expensive up-front to eat this way, but the savings quickly add up when you are visiting the doctor less. There is also a societal cost to buying all that crap food, that is greatly reduced when buying local. If more Americans ate this way, we wouldn't have the obesity problems we have today. Farming would be a much more meaningful job and not just a bunch of assembly line workers.
Also, if I do buy fast food anymore, now-a-days, I prefer Chipotle. They say their beef is grass fed, which I hope to be true. Costs a little more for a burrito there, but you can tell the difference in their ingredients from say, Taco Bell. I almost never feel full eating Taco Bell, but I can tell with Chipotle.
