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?"
