Support Local Farmers and Local EconomyI happen to be lucky enough to live in an area with abundant local farmers' markets.  Supporting them achieves several things: 1)it supports the local economy, 2)it reduces all the bad things associated with long-distance food transportation miles, 3)it gets me out walking or biking on a sunny morning, 4)it puts me in contact with cool, local people in the community, 5)finally, of course, it puts fresh, local, yummy often-organic food on my table and in my belly.  All around it is more sustainable and it is more fun than the grocery store!  Ask around for your local farmer's market or go here: ">Tags: farmers, farmers market, food, local, organic, sustainabilityMembers: 1
