I have for a long time been buying all of my groceries, paper products, meats, fruits and vegetables from the grocery store for the convenience. I now support all of the local farm markets for the past years – they work so hard growing, fertilizing, watering and trying to grow the best produce. I find the quality to be better, the appearance of the fruit or veggie is so much healthier looking and the taste is just as if it were fresh picked – it probably was that morning. The different varieties of fruits and vegetables amazes me, there is always something new to try and going to local farm markets – you are always able to chat with the locals to discover a new recipe. I am sad that winter is approaching and all of my favorite farm markets have closed up for the winter months but I look forward to the first day in spring when they re-open.
