Local Holiday

The "Buy Local" approach to shopping and life is more than a "she-she" trend that adds novelty to our weekends.  There are so many logical reasons to support your local economy. Here are a few I picked up from The Institute of Local Self-Reliance:

• Product Diversity: A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.
• Competition: A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.
• Keeping Dollars in the local Economy 

With the holidays approaching, keep these bullets in mind while Christmas shopping.  Local products are often unique and high quality, not to mention you know their origin.  So get to shopping! Loudoun County has a great landscape of local businesses and shops to choose from.  Wine Clubs anyone?
