shop local


one very good reason to shop at your local farmer's market rather than a large chain store is the difference in freshness of the produce you eat. on average, it takes a minimum of 4-7 days for produce to reach your local grocery chain after it has been picked and that is assuming that it is from the united states. produce from other countries can take substantially longer to get on your plate. buying local not only helps out local farmers but captures the ideal freshness that you want in your cuisine.
