Farmer’s markets benefit both ones’ personal and planetry heath. Not only is the carbon footprint of the produce grown on small local farms much smaller than that of produce purchased online or at a supermarket, the variety of those crops supports both the character of one’s regional cuisine and the biodiversity of the planet.
