Planning a trip to the farmers market
Shopping at the farmer’s market. Come on. Everyone else is doing it. Don’t you want to do it to?
- Cash - Most of the vendors at farmer's markets work on a cash only basis.
- Reusable bags – Sure, the vendors will have plastic bags for you to carry your food, but taking your own bags helps the environment and saves the vendors a little money.
- Your own coffee mug – Most markets don't have just produce, meats and flowers. Many of the larger ones have local coffee houses, bakeries, and crafters set up tables, too. When I get to the market at 8am on Saturday morning, I head right for the coffee table first.
- Where was this grown?
- How was it grown?
- When was this picked?
- How far did this item travel from where it was grown to this market?
- What conditions did the hens live in who grew these eggs?
