Farm to Market: Find Nutritional Food "You are what you eat!” But not everything you eat is equal. It’s important to consider not only the types of foods you consume, but also where those foods come from.  As more of us reside in cities and suburbs, we stray further from knowing the conditions under which food is grown, packaged, and distributed. One benefit of buying locally grown food from a farmers’ market is that it makes it easier to learn about the growing process direct from the grower. Another benefit is that it may offer food that’s fresher - picked more recently, transported more quickly - which in turn often makes the food more nutritionally dense. On your next visit to a nearby farmers’ market, try striking up a conversation with some of the growers. Chances are they’ll be happy to share details about the thought and care that goes into their process.
