There are many markets that take place year round. But with warm weather here, so are outdoor markets.

Buying from farmers and vendors at farmers markets does a whole lot of good. It doesn’t just mean you’re supporting a small business. (Yes, there is that, too!)—it means buying fresher goods that are more accessible to our communities and require fewer “food miles” to get to their destination. By shopping locally, you are purchasing goods produced in your local community. By cutting down on “food miles,” you are reducing your overall environmental impact of your food.

To top it all off, many local producers pride themselves on keeping their product organic, hormone free, and pesticide free. By buying and eating local, consumers are able to enjoy produce that is fresh and nutritious.

So get out and support local while improving the environment and enjoying fresher, more delicious produce.
