EDUCATION

Education.  It's important right?  We need to know things.  Well here's a question for you -- if you asked your children where your food comes from, what would they say?  I asked Bella (our 8-year-old granddaughter) - her answer "The store."  More specifically - a carrot - she said "The ground."

Education, it's important right?  It also starts at home.  Introduce your children to real, natural, locally grown food - it's fun!!!  Visit your local farmer's market for a visual and tasty treat!!!  The colors are astounding, the taste is incredible, and the people you meet are the hardest working, most helpful, generous people you will encounter in one spot!!!  The diversity in product and people are endless. 

We know it is the very end of the market season, but this weekend go for a family outing and visit your local farmer's market!  You won't be disappointed.  Take the opportunity to show your children where food really comes from and how good tasting natural, locally grown food is.  The growers and vendors you will meet love to answer questions.  Education, it starts with us and you.  Let us know how fun it was!
