Buying your fruits and vegetables at the Farmers Market can help you and your family stay healthy. Many local farmers go to great lengths to grow the most nutritious produce possible.

Shopping at the Farmers Market is Healthy for Families

Farmers Market produce is freshly picked, in season, and at its peak in flavor and nutrition. As soon as fruits and vegetables are picked they start to lose some of their vitamins. The fruits and vegetables from the farmers market ripen on the plant rather than in the store, so they keep their healthy vitamins longer.

Locally Grown Produce Supports Local Families

Why should you buy from the local farmer’s market? Buying from local farmers:

• Helps to support small family farmers
• Reduces costs to farmers
• Helps farmers continue growing healthy, nutritious food for our community
• Supports our local economy and environment
