Living Green, One Tip at a Time - (a weekly feature)

Tip # 26

Buy Local....
...it's that wonderful time of the year when all the markets and roadside stands are bursting with fresh produce! Support your community growers by creating a Saturday morning family adventure by visiting your local markets, farm stands and u-picks.
In fact, in about 10 minutes,  my sister and I are heading off to a local farmers market and then on to a market called "Harvesting the Arts".  Should be a fun day!!
Do you like to shop at local farmers markets?

  1. I love, love Farmer`s Markets. My dad is a baker and I grew up spending every Saturday at one.
    I have a huge appreciation for fresh croissants, and spring rolls.
    Where I live now though. The market is pathetic. It`s not that special anymore.

  4. Had a wonderful time @ Farmers Market yesterday, despite the rain, I intend to grab some more family and make it (at least) a monthy event!! Great time at Harvesting the Arts in King Square with a different kind of product, but equally as inviting!!

  5. I love farmers markets, for the fresh produce, baked goods and local crafter's. There's always something interesting to be found.
