Why shop from the farm? 

Eating locally, and eating what's in season is easier when you shop at farmers' markets, farm stands or from a community supported. Spending your money locally at local farms also means you're helping to keep working farms viable, and that means keeping the scenery of your town or region intact.
Beyond that, when you shop direct from a farmer, you can ask questions about how produce was raised: "Were pesticides used? Fertilizers? What is she doing to control water pollution and soil erosion?"
