10 Reasons To Shop At Your Local Farmer’s Market

Shop the farmers market to support local businesses while saving the earth!

I’m pretty lucky to say that I’ve lived around the corner from a year-round farmer’s market that comes to the neighborhood every Saturday, rain or shine. There are so many reasons why I think it’s important to seek out local farmers markets in your area to show support. Beyond building community, it’s environmentally friendly and healthy.

Below are 10 reasons why I think you should shop at your local farmers market but I’m happy to hear any additional ideas you may have!

  1. 1. Enjoy fresh seasonal foods
  2. Support local family farmers
  3. Help save the world by reducing the carbon footprint of travel and reduce plastic waste. (bring your own bags!)
  4. Purchase less processed food (minimal junk food in sight)
  5. Know where your food comes from
  6. Connect with the community
  7. Participate in composting at some site
  8. Most farmers accept cash, credit, SNAP and other nutrition benefit programs
  9. Purchase organic + non GMO produce
  10. Feel good to know you’ve made a difference.
