Why shop at a local farmer's market?

There are many benefits to shopping at a farmer's market. For one, the products are fresher and this helps add more flavor. Shopping at your local farmer's market can even decrease your carbon footprint. It only takes the farmer one truck to deliver their products to the market instead of the many trucks it would take to deliver these same products to a grocery store.You know where the produce is coming from as well. You get an opportunity to talk to the farmer who is selling the product. Buying things from these farmers means that you are helping support their farm. Most of these farms are small, family operated farms. When you shop at a grocery store, only 16 cents of each dollar you spend on food  actually goes to the farmer. Shopping at the farmer's market ensures that the money is going directly to the farmer.
