WHO loves fresh food!
Thank you for helping make
2011 one of the best seasons yet.
See you in May 2012
Buying direct from a farmer sends 90% of those food dollars back to the farm. Increasing farm income means more money can be spent locally by the farmer to run their business and home, helping keep our local economy alive.
Local produce is typically picked at the right time for eating. For those reasons it should be tastier and more nutritious. Many, if not most, of the small farms that supply farmers' markets are organic in everything but name. If you are concerned about chemicals in your produce, you can simply ask the farmer at the market how he or she deals with pests and fertility and begin the sort of conversation between producers and consumers that in the end is the best guarantee of quality in your food.
