Shopping at your local farmer’s market is a great way to give back to the local farming community who usually makes about 10 cents on the dollar selling in chain grocery stores. The benefits is not just in favor of the farmer either. You get tasty, fresh and locally grown food straight from the source. The farmers know how it was grown what was used to grow it and can tell you when the fruits and veggies were harvested. The farmer’s market is also the best place to find real organically grown food at a good price. You may have to spend a couple extra minutes in the car to get to the market instead of your local chain store, but the result will be worth it.Here is the USDA farmers market map to find a place near you.Another great resource is LocalHarvest.org
