Abstract:
The word “local” has become a meaningless word in the restaurant business in Charlotte. Many restaurants who only get a few of their ingredients from local farms claim the word to justify price increases. This practice has forced restaurants who only use local ingredients to change the way they express it, by saying “farm to table,” “sourced locally from North Carolina,” “farm-driven,” and other phrases to ensure customers know what they are purchasing.

In April 2015, the Durham Co-Op Market—a community owned and locally sourced grocery store—opened in Durham.

Abstract:
Ney discusses the advantages of buying food that is raised by local farmers. It is estimated the North Carolinians spend $35 billion per year on food purchases. If just 10 percent were spent locally, that would bring $3.5 billion into local economies and provide support to local farmers and provide jobs in the farming community.
