Farmers Markets

Farmers Markets are a large part of the local food movement that’s been going on for many years now. The whole idea behind a Farmers Market is so that local food growers can sell a variety of their fresh foods to the surrounding communities. Foods bought at a Farmers Market are considered to be healthy foods because it’s fresh, and more affordable because there’s no middle man. Some farmers use only organic methods when growing their foods, adding to the many reasons why supporting Farmers Markets is so very important, and in any state.
