Farmer's Market

One thing Randy and I have learned is that a better way to promote more ecological living and fair trading is to buy local. 



 For example: buy from a Farmer's Market! 


The produce hasn't had to be shipped thousands of miles 
(which eliminates the waste of gas and environmental harm), 


 your options are more focused on what's in season 
(rather than importing things we want that are only in season in other countries),


you're buying directly from the farm/farmer 
(more directly than through any supermarkets I know).

I've included pictures of our most recent farmer's market visit. 3 bags of carrots, one honeydew melon, 4 squash, 2 bell peppers and 3 baskets of strawberries. 
(All for under $20!)
