In Connecticut, and I'm sure through the northeast as well, many people like going to farmer's market for *fresh* produce. At local farmer markets you can not only get fresh produce, but produce that is organic. Did you know that local farmers are becoming competition for the larger farmers throughout the country? We all assume that local farmers foods cost more, but not necessarily. Why? These farmers do NOT have to spend a lot on gas, which jacks up the price. Most of our food here in Connecticut comes from the midwest, and obviously needs to be shipped here. Who are they going to pass the cost onto, but the consummer. So, if you are interested in supporting the *local* farmers in your area you might want to check out the website www.localharvest.org. Below are a few of the local farmer market around the Cromwell, CT, middlesex county of Connecticut.
Middletown Farmers Market (Middletown, CT)
