. The Values of Buying Fresh Produce at a Farmers' Market
Farmer’s markets offer the freshest food around—usually only hours from the field—so you get top quality, perfectly ripe flavor.
2. Help the environment.
Eating locally saves vast amounts of packaging waste and energy required to ship food around the globe.
3. Shop organic for global health.
Farmer’s markets attract vendors who use organic growing methods, meaning you gain access to food free of synthetic pesticides. Plus, buying organic supports good land stewardship
4. Become part of your community.
Festive and lively, farmer’s markets are social venues where you bump into friends and meet local farmers face to face.
5. Support local farmers and your local economy.
In an era when sustainable farmers struggle to survive, farmer’s market profits—which go straight into growers’ pockets—help keep small farms alive.
6. Save money.
Buying from farmers eliminates the cost of the middleman and pricey shipping, so you get more value for your dollar.
7. Learn about food.
Kids and adults alike enjoy exploring firsthand how foods are grown, harvested, and eaten by browsing market stalls and talking to farmers.
8. Boost your nutrition.
Tantalizing produce displayed in farmers’ bins and baskets encourages you to eat more fruits and vegetables, so it’s easy to consume the recommended five servings a day.
9. Treat your senses.
Experiencing the colors, smells, and tastes of a farmer’s market is a sensual experience that connects you to the land.
10. Foods are seasonal. You will be provided with great quality produce that’s at its peak of freshness.
11. Serves as an educational opportunity for you and your kids. You will be shown different produce that you maybe haven’t seen and you can always ask the farmer which ways you can prepare the produce. Take you kids along and start showing them at an early age different foods and the benefits of healthy shopping and eating.
12. Everyone benefits — the farms, the farmers, the consumers — it’s an all-around great opportunity for everyone.
The food is at its freshest because it doesn't have to travel hundreds of miles to get to you.
At the Fair Grove Farmers' Market, the summer’s best bounty is here. Fresh food, eaten at the height of ripeness has exceptional flavor — taste a freshly picked tomato and you’ll experience this first–hand. Nothing beats the quality and freshness of our local food – a carrot tastes like a carrot, blueberries are sweet and juicy.
By buying your fruits, vegetables, meats and other products from the Farmers’ Market you are supporting local agriculture. That means you are also getting the very freshest products, as the trip from the field to the table is shorter
Local producers can select their produce varieties for taste, rather than their ability to travel.
Local farmers offer varieties bred for taste and freshness, rather than to withstand long–distance travel and extended shelf life. By choosing locally produced food, you pay for taste and nutrition, not transportation and packaging.
The longer unprocessed food is stored, the lower its nutritional content. Food shipped long distances can spend weeks in transit and storage before being sold, while local food is often sold within 24 hours of harvest
You can help ensure that local farmland will stay in production.
You can talk to the people who grow or make your food and they can and will respond to your needs, tastes, and questions.
More than a marketplace, it's a social gathering where friends and families meet.
