A Fresh Focus
Top Ten Reasons why the Farmer’s Market is Superior to the Grocery Store
1.You can enjoy the fresh air while you shop.
2. The odds that you’ll see someone you know while perusing the Farmer’s market, as opposed to the grocery store, are much greater.
3. Since there are no carts, you don’t run the risk of getting in one of those awkward cart-traffic-jams which are ever-present at 5:30 p.m. on a weekday in Wegmans.
4. There are no lines as infuriating as those when there is only one checkout line open and approximately 15 people ahead of you with food to feed a dozen teenage boys.
5. You can chat with the personalities who make or grow the food and believe in it.
6. You’re supporting the local economy!
7. The food is fresher. Like, just picked yesterday freshness–which is healthier.
8. You can find new inspiration for dinner…like that provided by Lavender Retreat. They are hosting cooking demos at a handful of our Thursday market.
9. It’s better for the environment. Those strawberries you eat in November from the grocery store are not from Virginia. Imagine all the fuel that could be saved from shipping produce cross-country or internationally if you shopped the Farmer’s Market.
10. You’ve got variety. You’ve got community. You’ve got health at your fingertips. What more could you want?
