- Fruits and veggies are usually only hours from the fields and often organic.
- I can support local farmers.
- It's good for the environment as there is no packaging and shipping saving natural resources.
- Inspiration! I can try new foods and find new cooking ideas.
- There's more than fruit and veggies available; many markets have eggs, meats, baked goods, jams, flowers and even crafts.
- It's a great way to connect with the community.
- And the number 1 reason: TASTE! Eating seasonally offers the freshest, truest flavors.
