Welcome Spring at a Local Farmer's Market
You can help undermine the ravages of industrialized agriculture. Now that spring is arriving in New York State there are at least two options for buying locally grown produce.
One option is to shop at a local Farmer’s Market. If you’re careful, you can buy directly from the farmer that grows the produce. If you still eat animal foods, farmer’s markets also offer pasture-raised animal foods. Parents and children enjoy the Farmer’s Market experience.
There are also community supported agriculture programs available. We pay a local farmer a deposit in the spring. That helps him get his growing season started and he delivers a beautiful box of locally grown organic fruits and veggies every week. What a treat!
