NUTRILICIOUS

When in 🇬🇧, 𝐄𝐀𝐓 locally~
From savoring produce at the peak of freshness to meeting the people who grow your food, there are countless reasons to support farmers markets. Here are our top 5! (READ ON☺️)

1️⃣ Taste Real Flavors
Fruits & veggies are allowed to ripen fully in the field and are brought directly to you—no long-distance shipping, no gassing to simulate the ripening process, no sitting for weeks in storage. This food is as real as it gets—fresh from the farm.

2️⃣ Nourish Yourself
Most food found at the farmers market is minimally processed, and many of the farmers go to great lengths to grow the most nutritious produce possible by using sustainable techniques, picking produce right before the market, and growing heirloom varieties. 0 harmful chemicals!

3️⃣ Enjoy the Season #Nutrilicious
The food you buy at the farmers market is seasonal, fresh & delicious and reflects the truest flavors. Shopping and cooking from the farmers market helps you to reconnect with the cycles of nature in our region. As you look forward to broccoli in spring, savor sweet corn in summer, or bake pumpkins in autumn, you reconnect with the 🌎.

4️⃣ Support Family Farmers
Family farmers need your support – small family farms have a hard time competing in the food marketplace. Buying directly from farmers gives them a better return for their produce and supporting them in surviving in today’s globalized economy.

5️⃣ Save the Planet
Food travels countless miles to get to your plate. Conventional agriculture also uses many more resources than sustainable agriculture and pollutes water, land, and air with toxic agricultural by-products. Food at the farmers market is transported shorter distances and is grown using methods that minimize the impact on the earth.

👊You vote every time you shop, and with knowledge comes the ability to support foods and growers you believe in.
🌱Farm to table (tummy!) – It doesn’t take long to figure out the global impact of that choice.
