Farmers Markets Sell The Best Food
There is perhaps nothing more frustrating then going to the grocery store and finding wilted or rotten produce. Even if you find what appears to be some fresh produce, it does not last long once you get it home.
The problem is the timing. It takes time for the farmers of the produce to harvest and then have it shipped to the packaging operations. By the time it reaches the grocery store it has a limited amount of shelf life left. You may need to consider visiting farmers markets instead of hitting the grocery store.
Since 1994, the number of farmers markets has increased threefold. Many of the local farmers in some regions are taking advantage of farmer’s markets by selling organic produce.
More and more people want produce that has not been sprayed with pesticides or has not been genetically tampered with. The USDA does its part by ensuring that these farmers are following the strict organic guidelines, with regard to labeling something organic.
If you have never been to any of the farmers markets near you, then you are really missing out on something great. If your town does not have one, then you can always try to visit some when you go on vacation.
A great website to visit to find local farmer’s markets is www.localharvest.org. You can put in your zip code and find the nearest market. Just make sure to go early so that you can buy the best items available.
