The farmers' market isn't just a place to pick out tasty grub for next week, it can be a great place for learning and growing knowledge about our food chain.

So let's go find the roots of our food together during a fun visit to the a local farmer's market.

WHO GROWS OUR FOOD?

Yes, real people do the growing. They're called farmers! They work the dirt. They water and weed.

WHAT IS ORGANIC FARMING?

Organic farming is the production of food, including plants and animal products, using farming techniques that protect the environment, public health, human communities, and animal welfare.

WHERE DOES MY FOOD COME FROM?

By asking the farmers where their farms are located, you will come to understand that food is grown local to where we live. Learn more about where certain types of produce is grown. Where do you live and what grows in your region?

WHEN CAN I EAT APPLES?

Strawberries in January? That's not natural...and your kids can learn that if you teach them about seasonality. As kids visit farmers markets on a regular basis, they will start to learn that fruits and vegetables are available at certain times of year - not all year round like at the supermarket.

WHY EAT LOCAL FOOD?

So why is it healthy and helpful to eat locally grown and seasonal fruits and vegetables ? What do you think?

HOW TO MAKE A MEAL

How does that food get on the table? Food goes from field to market to home to recipe to table!
