Buy Local

When you buy local, you not only support your local economy, but you support the betterment of the environment. Picking your veggies for your vegetable soup solely from a local vendor means there were fewer miles used to transport it, fewer toxins released into the air, and a low carbon footprint overall. I love the Farmers Market, not just for produce, but also for the wonderful handmade items and small batch local items that people sell there. In fact, my favorite eco-friendly tea is made near me and sold at my town’s Farmers Market.

Eat In Season

Local and in-season food is so sustainable! Eating in-season foods means that it is likely grown near you, and that is more-so likely when you buy it at a Farmers Market near where you live. While growing your own organic garden would be optimal, not everyone can do that. The Farmers Market is a fun way to get out of the house with your family and shop for in-season fruits and vegetables that people who live near you have grown.
