Put On Your Most Comfy Scrubs And Let's Visit The Farmer's Market

More often today we are finding that we have a choice when it comes to shopping for our fresh fruit and veggies. Rather than choosing from a refrigerated case in a supermarket, we can enjoy strolling through a fragrant marketplace in the sunshine. Rather than reading labels we can actually talk to the farmer and learn about how our food was grown.

Not only will your find organic fruits and vegetables but also homemade bread and jars of jam, handmade soaps, organic sauces and fresh herbs and spices. This oasis of health is also known as your local Farmer's Market.

Here are some more excellent reasons to shop this way:

Locally Grown

By buying things that are produced locally you immediately reduce that carbon footprint created when products have to be shipped or trucked to your supermarket. You will also benefit from foods that are grown in the same environment in which you live. Nutritional value can vary in different climates or at different altitudes.

Often Organic Is Less Expensive

A favorite at a local Farmer's Market near here is a stall that offers many types of fruits and veggies that you can choose from and you can fill a large potato sack for just $7.00. You will save money by not purchasing items that require expensive packaging. Even if the food is not certified organic, you will have an opportunity to actually speak to the grower about their growing methods so you can make a more informed decision.

Fresher, Healthier And Better Tasting

Because your buying food grown close to home you can count on it being fresher and sometimes even harvested the day before you buy it. Supermarket produce can often take much longer to transport, especially if harvested in another part of the world. Did you know that honey produced in your unique region contains allergy fighting properties specific to your area? Oftentimes people will tell you that garden grown tomatoes cannot be compared to store-bought when it comes to taste. Such is usually the case with locally grown produce.

Eat What Is In Season

Ask yourself if you really need to eat peaches and strawberries in the middle of winter. Because they try to offer greater variety, the supermarket will often transport unripe fruit and veggies expecting them to ripen on the shelf rather than on the vine. Fully ripe means greater nutritional value and better taste. Eating seasonally also means less fuel used to transport foods and the result is a lower carbon footprint.
