Discover a local farmers market
Locally grown foods are not only beneficial for the environment, they’re often a lot fresher and cheaper too. Then, there’s the added bonus of supporting local businesses.
Make an effort this week to find out where and when your community’s next local farmers’ market takes place. Plan a trip.

Adventures in Local EatingThe best part about local eating is the adventure it creates around food and its enjoyment. |
There are a couple farmers markets I want to check out in the area that I found on Yelp! I need to find something to replace the Ferry Building in San Francisco.
Well haven’t got to a new one yet, but did find a listing of some in my area which I will check out as soon as I can. Do go to one held in Freehold each Tuesday. It’s small but maybe it will catch on.
I love my local farmer’s market that’s been around over 100 years. Bartlett’s farm on Nantucket Island is wonderful. They grow organic greens, veggies, flower and plants, and import other produce. They have a great selection of cheeses, olives, meats and have a bakery and fresh deli/prepared foods. They are like a mini whole foods market. I love supporting a local farm that has been such a huge part of the local economy and history of this island. :) http://www.bartlettsfarm.com

On my way home everyday i see a sign..” farmers market on Thursday” this week i will be stopping!
There’s a few farms so close to my house, out in Fairfield and Napa, some u-pick farms too, and I found their prices are lower than the farmer’s markets and the food is even better than the farmers markets and a million times better that what I’m finding at the grocery store!
