Know Where Your Food Comes From

Need another reason to start hitting up your local farmers’ market? Think about getting a chance to meet the people who grow your food. You can ask them about their farming methods to make sure the meat and produce you're buying are organic and free of antibiotics. You can also use your local farmers as resources for recipes, food preparation ideas, snack suggestions, and gardening advice. They have a real passion for what they do, and they're usually generous when it comes to offering their expertise on healthy eating and living.
