Shopping Ideas: Visit a Local Farmer's Market

Ever heard of “Buy Fresh, Buy Local”?

If you’ve never visited a farmers market, then it’s definitely time to check one out. The fun part is walking outdoors and having all the fresh produce, breads, food, and flowers at your convenience direct from the farmers/producers. Farmer’s markets are also great for the environment because they offer organic fruits/vegetables and they offer products that are seasonally grown and come from close by which minimizes fossil fuels used for transportation. Some places even have petting zoos so it's definitely a great place for the whole family. Check out some of these local ones below or visit http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-farmersmarketlist,0,2141302.htmlstory for more locations.
