REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Buy From a Farmers MarketWhat is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?
Cara Wessel 10/20/2020 8:13 AMI've been shying away from farmer's markets this season (thanks, covid) but finally went to one. It was safe and well organized! I was able to connect with the community, know where my food comes from, support sustainable farming practices and taste the flavors of the season. -
