Why not just shop the organic section at the supermarket?


While some grocery stores do carry a small number of local and organic products, most cannot match al farmers markets in quality let alone guarantee farmers a fair price. Shopping at a farmers market also allows farmers and shoppers to get to know each other personally.  Farmers markets are an important part of building an alternative food chain. You’re now eating in a different way. You’re eating less processed food.  When you start cooking food, as opposed to buying it precooked, you consume significantly less synthetic products overall.
