6 Reasons to be shopping at Farmers Markets

 

1. Helping Local Farmers

The first reason you should be shopping at farmer’s markets has nothing to do with the fresh quality of the produce. It is making sure that these local farmers can continue operations. Since the produce is grown locally, you are supporting the network of local farmers by buying your produce at farmer’s markets. This is important for the most immediate reason of doing your part to help ensure that these farmers can continue their local growing operations.

2. Quality of the Food

Because of how farmer’s markets often feature produce and food that is grown both naturally and organically, the taste quality is superior than at other outlets. Farmers who sell their produce at farmer’s markets are able to retain the nutritional content of their products, pick their produce at the very peak of its flavor, and also offer you hard-to-get foods, such as raw milk. As an additional bonus, the food they sell does not need to travel very far to get to your table (basically, just their farms to the market to your table), which helps to ensure that the food does not get damaged or bruised as it sometimes does when being transported to grocery stores.

3. Environmental Reasons

The amount of fossil fuels is drastically cut since the time of travel is reduced in the delivery of the produce from farms to your dinner table. Studies have also indicated that the network of managed and sustainable farms that comprise the backbone of farmer’s markets help to both conserve water resources as well as the purity of the soil. This factor helps wildlife by helping to preserve its habitat.

4. Sense of Community

Many people who go to by from the Farmers market develop friendships with the suppliers and with other local shoppers who they see on a weekly basis. It is a great time to get out early on the weekend and start your day productively.

5. Healthy options

The farmers and local food suppliers usually supply healthy food, this way you can avoid the processed foods that are in supermarkets and make healthy choices for you and your family.

6. Education

There is always an opportunity to learn more at the farmers market. Whether you learn about the foods you are putting into your body, where the food is coming from and maybe even get some ideas about cooking. There may also be health practioner’s there such as Chiropractors who can offer you advice and education about your body.
