Local Green Farmer’s Markets In South Florida
Well we’re back and of course to help your make life a little easier. Most of the people we meet, if not all, ask us where we do most of our shopping? Today we are here to give you some local green/farmer’s markets that are located in theSouth Florida area where you might just find us, if your lucky, doing some shopping. And please don’t hesitate to stop us and say hello.
When you buy food locally you reduce energy consumption. Local food doesn’t have to travel far! Not only do we help reduce pollutants, but you get a higher quality of food! Green markets are one of our favorite places we love to do our shopping. We get to meet new and familiar faces almost every weekend. Most of the vendors are always asking us to bring them either some of our Famous Mango Mousse Parfaits or the crowd pleasing favorite, Cilantro Chili Anisette sauce!! These seasonal Saturday and Sunday markets bring to the area some of the fresh fruit and vegetables, plants and flowers, arts and crafts, and tasty treats that have delighted shoppers throughout South Florida. Oh by the way did we forget to mention that at most of these green markets you will find vendors selling loads of organic fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty local foods? Of course not we just told you!
There are many benefits to buying local. Here are just a few examples of the why shopping for local farm products is beneficial to you and your community.
Produce is Fresher
Local produce is picked at the height of ripeness and was probably picked within the past day or two.
Supports Local Farmers
With each local food purchase more of your money spent on food goes directly to the farmer. Local farmers spend their money with local merchants and the money stays in your community.
Protects the Environment
Local food doesn’t have to travel far. Food, on average, travels 1500-2500 miles from farm to table. Buying local helps to lower energy consumption by reducing transportation and storage, both of which are very energy-intensive and pollute our air and water.
We know it’s tough to go shopping after a long day of work. That’s why your favorite 3 foodies, us of course, are always here to look out for your best interest and make life a little easy. These farmers markets are open on weekends! Saturdays and Sundays are always busy days there, and since there is always something new, you’re always going to find something you can’t just pick up at the grocery store. So stop by and come visit one of these local green markets at the bottom.
