Farmer’s market is indeed a wonderful idea. I can find organic meat and diary products at my local farmer’s market. They are a little pricier than grocery stores, but after I tasted the fresh mozzarella and ice cream I don’t think I ever want to go back to the refrigerated aisle. Plus I don’t have to worry about hormones in the products I’m feeding to the kids! Love your blog!
Every second Saturday morning, best to get there early at 6am before it gets crowded, we buy our fruit, veggie, fish and meat supply from local farmers’ market. It took us some time to plan out how much of what to buy but the challenge was worthy for having to eat and cook with fresh and healthy stuff suits heaps.
Not only is the food better you also know where it is from. Most stores can not tell you where the food comes from and after some of the problems they have had i will buy local food every time i can.
I like buying local produce. This way i know where it comes from and i know it does not waste energy being trucled or shiped around the world. I also know it is fresh not weeks old.
I do agree that people have to buy local produce. Surely, it depends on the country. Maybe, for several countries, it needs contribution from the governments. In this case, the regulations from the government might influence the real action.

Local produce is usually fresher as well as having a lower carbon footprint.
