Farmer's Markets

It is so important to support your local Farmer's Market or roadside stands.  Here are a few reasons :

Taste - Taste - Taste and more Taste !!!

The produce is fresher and, has more vitamins because it came from the field to the market to your table. 

Local farmers use less chemicals and, pesticides than commercial farms.

You're not contributing to the use of fuels needed to truck produce thousands of miles to supply supermarkets.

You have the opportunity to talk to the farmer who grew your produce.  Farmers have a wealth of information to offer .  Ask about freezing, cooking, pickling, etc....they know everything there is to know about  their product.

You are also helping the local farmer afford his land and, business.  These days even farm taxes are skyrocketting.  It's a sad day when farms close because of expenses.
