This Saturday I went to the Larkspur Landing farmers market and it was super fun! Going with mom buying plenty of fruits and veggies grown close to home. For me, farmers markets really represent the importance in building a relationship with the farmer that grows your food. When otherwise buying food in a grocery store, we may never know what it took to make this crop. For example, when facing the person who grew your food you can ensure a more sustainable and less harmful means of growth. This display is through less gasoline being used to transport the food, and having the ability to ask if the farmer used any pesticides or hormones in the process. With this I've learned that my role in the class is important in informing those who choose to eat the food. Don't be afraid to ask questions cause we know those of us who do things organically and humanely have nothing to hide anyways.
From one farmer to you, I hope you have a great day!
