If you're regularly buying groceries and preparing your own meals already, congratulations.  You're already well ahead of the curve and most likely a lot healthier than the fast-food eating, microwavable meal munching majority.  Most shoppers prefer to purchase their groceries from the nearby supermarket because it is more accessible and convenient.  If this is your preferred method, then I would like to issue a challenge to you, because you have no idea just how much you are missing by skipping your local farmer’s market.  Find out when and where your nearest farmer's market is taking place (here's a good place to start) and mark it on your calendar.  This is a weekly habit that will benefit you and your community.  Offering a healthy, fun social experience and unique benefits, shopping in the farmer's market is more than just buying what you need for the week.
