Tip 7: Shop at a Farmer's Market Whenever Possible

Farmers markets often feature organic, natural, and unprocessed foods which are rich in nutrients. Further, farmers markets are typically local and therefore, the amount of fossil fuel consumed to bring each meal to our table is less, which is better for our community and the environment.  No surprise, food straight from the farm is more flavorful because such food is grown to taste good and nourish us, not to have an unusually long shelf life.
