Farm-to-Table

With many holidays just around the corner, consider buying fresh produce from local farmers! There are five main benefits from buying produce from local farmers: you eat well, you save money, you support local farmers, you build your local economy, and you help the environment.

Farm-fresh produce is packed with nutrients and flavor compared to buying produce from grocery stores. Seek out locally grown produce and protein that are not only tasty but healthy for your family. Check out more benefits of the farm-to-table movement and alternatives if there is not a local farmer’s market on page 8 of the fall edition Healthy You magazine.
