| - The North Union Farmer's Market - Shaker Square as well as the auxiliary markets - are the cornerstone of our home's healthful eating/cooking habits! Each Saturday, my husband and I awake and excitedly head to the Square to load up on fresh fruits and vegetables - as well as breads, meats, and other sundries.
Even as the weather cools and the number of vendors dwindles somewhat, we are still able to source 60-75% of our weekly foods here. Each week, we fill two large LL Bean Tote Bags to the brim and eat well!
Eating fresh, local produce has made such a difference in our home! The food is so much more flavorful, nutritious, and exciting! This is a resource that we value immensely and do everything we can to support.
To those who might find the prices at the farmer's market too high for their liking: I really believe in the value of fresh, local, and mostly organic produce and find that it goes far beyond any perceived added cost. If you really gave it a try, you might feel the same.
