Buying local produce helps reduce transport miles and so means that less of the world's limited crude oil reserves are used up in order to get products from the producer to the shop. In turn this means less CO² emissions caused by the products travelling to retail outlets.

Some sources of locally produced food in the Godalming area are Secrett's Farm Shop in Milford, Farmers' Markets and Wakelings the Butcher in Farncombe. Other local outlets can be found here .
