Farmers Markets

If you think that living frugally means scrimping on healthy foods, or that buying fresh produce is pricey, you really should check out your local farmers market. You can find healthy fruits and veggies at reasonable prices, and if they’re not organic, they will have less chemicals than produce imported from other states or countries.

Check out LocalHarvest.org, an awesome website that helps you locate a farmers market near you. According to the homepage, you can use this “website to find farmers’ markets, family farms, and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area, where you can buy produce, grass-fed meats, and many other goodies.”

You can  also get info on co-ops and various events, buy seeds and other products, and much more.

Happy (healthy) shopping!
