Helping You Eat Healthier
Review #8
Welcome to our eighth review of restaurants and farm markets in our healthy eating series. We chose a Farmers Market that has offered fresh, local produce for over 30 years. They are open year-round and feature a variety of agriculturally inspired shops and other merchants that offer seasonal, fresh vegetables and fruits as well as fresh meats. They are a great resource to find food for healthy preparation and eating!
