    Nutrition Column - Enjoy Fresh Produce from Your Local Farmer's Market

    Farmer's markets are continuing to pop up across the country due to the popularity with both farmers and consumers. Among farmers, selling in local markets is beneficial because it allows smaller farms to sell directly to consumers, thereby reducing distribution costs and increasing profits. For consumers, buying from farmer's markets tends to provide a wide variety of fresh, high-quality produce. This is, in part, because when selling directly to the consumer, farmers can allow their produce to ripen longer before harvesting and can get it to the consumer more quickly after harvest. In contrast, produce purchased at the supermarket generally must be harvested much earlier to allow for shipping and distribution time.
