I too am really looking forward to upcoming local farmer's markets! I can't wait to see what is local now, and the selection of organic produce (for those who have no yard to grow there own!) I'm finding that this local movement is really catching on. More towns this spring are opening up farmer's markets for the first time (or are reviving them). That definetly speaks to the knowlege of the community, and their desire for good food that supports the area!

I can't wait for the local farmer's market to start up this spring. Not only can you save an insane amout of money, but a lot of the venders are offering organic produce. There really is no need to buy from the grocery store in the summer, any suggestions for the winter? I try to buy fruit and veggies with the Ontario sticker, but sometimes I can't help but pay for the produce that comes from afar.
