As kids, we grew up with parents and family members who all went to the local dairy, the local butcher, and the local farms for the "best" of everything. So it was definitely a natural choice for me when I decided to go into the retail end of the food business, to start selling my products at two of the local farmers markets in the area.

A regular trip to the Farmers Market is one of the best ways to learn where your food is coming from. The food you buy there is seasonal, and therefore helps you to reconnect with the different cycles of nature in your region. There is always an amazing array of produce and specialty food items, and being able to meet the farmers and food artisans is a fun learning experience. Above all, you are supporting small family businesses. So make sure to come and visit me!
