Yesterday I went to the Famers Maket in Logan Square. I did most of my shopping for the week there. The prices were high but so is the quality. It was really cool picking out tomatoes from a stand, purchasing them, then getting a thank-you directly from the farmer. "Thank-you for supporting our farm". You will NOT get that feeling when buying from a corporate grocery store. I felt as if I were not only buying food that is not genetically modified, pesticide free, and tastes better but I was also supporting a local farm. If only they had butter, olive oil, juice, milk, paper towel, candles and all kinds of other stuff. I would love it if I could do all my shopping and know everything I buy is locally made. I believe one of the most important things right now is to resort to buying everything as local as possible. There are huge corporations that are putting patents on certain foods so that they have complete control over our food and how its grown. If you want to have a choice, and know where your food comes from buy local. Buy directly from a farmer that you can trust.
