This Saturday, I took my two older kids to our local farmer's market. They enjoyed seeing the produce in a true, natural way. My kids even got to sample some local honey. I bought 2 acorn squashes, a butternut squash, a jar of homemade grape jam, and a large loaf of apple bread for $9.00. I promised them we would go back next week for the honey, since I only had $10 cash on me at the time.
Buying these items full price at our local grocery store would have cost a lot more. Plus, we get the added bonus of supporting our local community and neighbors. The food is grown in backyards and away from any pesticides and hormones.
