It's always a great time to buy local fresh produce

Be sustainable at the same time.

  1. We always buy at our farmer's market, which is on Thursday, every week, all year long. The variety is great and we have our fresh fruit and vegetables for the entire family menu plan.

    Ruth,

    That's a wonderful healthy way of life
    - ALL year long too!

    What part of the country do you live in?
    ALL year availability is amazing.

    I'm going to go one step further
    during National Farmer's Week.

    I'm going to do a meet & greet this week with at least one local farmer down the road from me who has a road stand.
    I can get details on availability, their farm, opinions on current food issues along with getting to know them better as a neighbor within my community.

    Very excited,
    ThehealthySELF
