This is a great time of year to get locally grown fresh vegetables and fruits from your local Farmer’s Markets! It’s estimated that the average American meal travels 1,500 miles to get to our table. When was the last time you drove that far? How did you feel after the trip? Your food feels the same. Reduce your food’s carbon footprint and support your local Farmer’s Markets. Below is the 2010 summer schedule. You can also go to www.springsgov.com/page.aspx?navid=1733
