When I attended business school a big focus of my studies was sustainability. While that means a lot of different things to different people, a few thing stuck with me when I took my learning to the “real world” as a consumer. One of those things was to Shop Local. Luckily where I live, my neighborhood has a big focus on locally made products, so it’s easy for me to shop sustainable and support the local economy.

However, consumer made goods shouldn’t be the only thing that people should buy local. Seasonal produce is another great thing to purchase. One of the great ways to do that is by making a family outing out of it. I know a lot of my family and friends like going to local farms to pick their own fruits like strawberries in the Summer and apples in the Fall. Since\u00a0it’s not always possible to go straight to the source, it’s good to know that Loblaws carries tons of great local produce. You can pick some up on your way home from work instead of making an outing out of it.\u00a0Just this past weekend we used local produce to make\u00a0a Kale-Caesar Salad and a Tomato-Bocconcini salad.<\/p>\n
