I go to the local farmer’s market regularly. Then I take fresh fruit and vegetables to potlucks, office parties, and small group gatherings. When you serve friends something healthy, not a bag of chips or a box of store-bought cookies, or something really fattening, it always draws attention.
Then I can share with others where I got the food, how colorful and how much fun it is to shop at farmer’s markets, how healthy the food is, and what it does to leave no impact on the environment. It’s a real joy.

I just love farmer’s markets as well. There aren’t many where I live, however, I do try to support the ones that do exist. Also, when we go on vacation I love to visit the local farmer’s markets. It is such a treat to take in the colors, smells and sounds. This summer we are going to visit New York City and will make a trip to the Union Suqare market. It is sure to be a highlight. (Much better than going to a department store, I think!)

I too love farmers’ markets, but I am confused by this being categorized as “more money”. Maybe it’s just because I live in a city (downtown washington DC), but our farmers’ markets are EXPENSIVE!
