difficult for small businesses to thrive. There is a current movement for
families and individuals to support local business as much as possible. One way to do that is through buying your
produce at a local farmer’s market. There are many benefits from shopping at a
local farmers market.
There are many benefits from
shopping at a local farmers market. Anything
you buy will be in season which guarantees it to be at peak flavor and
nutrition. When you purchase produce out of season, the cost often is higher
because of the cost of shipping internationally. Also, vendors will allow you to try the
different items that they sell. This will allow you to find the produce that
fits your tastes. Not sure how to cook
all the different veggies and fruit you see? Ask the vendor, they always have
great tips on preparing their produce.
If you want to save even more on
the cost of purchasing produce at the farmer’s market, go within the last 30
minutes of the market before closing. The local farmers always drastically reduce
prices to ensure the purchase of their produce. To find your local farmers
market you can visit the USDA’s website (http://search.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets/)
