Today: Help protect the planet -- one trip to the farmers market at a time.
In honor of Earth Day, we're paying homage to the farmers market, which celebrates all things local, seasonal, and sustainable. Farmers markets provide the opportunity to connect with the people who grow and raise your food. Instead of pushing a shopping cart through a stuffy grocery store, you get to purchase your food outside, in the fresh air. What's not to love? This Earth Day (and every day), support your neighborhood farmers market. Just be sure to read these links before you go.
