While none of us busy parents want to add another exhausting shopping excursion to our plate, we’ve found that buying at our neighborhood Farmer’s Market is a really fun excursion with our young boys.  And with all of the food recalls lately, we feel it’s hugely important to shop locally.  You’ll be eating healthier food, supporting a local farmer and saving the planet!  (Less fuel for shipping :o)

The Local Harvest web site is an amazing resource for finding a local Farmer’s Market or Community Food Resource. Simply type in your Zip code and get a variety of local resources.

Yes, you’ll be spending a few pennies more per apple than going to a huge chain, but the benefits are just too huge to pass up.  And the flavors will amaze you and you’ll just feel great about your purchases.
