I visited our local farmer’s market in Collingswood this past weekend. When you shop at your local food stands and farmer’s markets you are not only getting the freshest fruits and vegatables available each season, but you are supporting your local economy. I bought organic kale, tomatoes, strawberries and the sweetest corn you have ever tasted! Combine that with the sights and sounds of local musicians performing, beautiful and bright colors, kids laughing and dancing, fresh air and abundant sunshine…..and you have one sweet experience!
The Philadelphia Inquirer has a fabulous article today on the benefits of farmer’s markets as well as a list of markets in the region. http://bit.ly/kSAaPh
Other wonderful information can be found at www.localharvest.org and www.farmtocity.org . You can not only see where the closest market is to your area, but have access to bloggers who are sharing their wisdom around the world.
Now…turn off the computer….go grab a piece of fruit and enjoy!
