Farmer's Markets

Summer is here and the farmer's markets are starting to take off. Just a word or two about farmer's markets. While it is great to get fresh fruits and vegetables, you need to be aware, that just because you bought something at the farmer's market does not mean that it is organically grown. Look for the organically grown label to be sure you are getting organic fruits and vegetables or you are likely to be getting a lot of pesticides in those fruits and vegetables that are not organically grown.

Also, remember that all fruits and vegetables, organically grown or not should be washed before eating, especially if they are to be eaten raw.
