Today is the last day to get your veggies at the Midtown Farmer's Market in Oxford.
Why shop at your local Farmer's Market?
Here's why:
Of the total energy used in the United States per year, 4 percent is used to produce food, and between 10 and 13 percent is used to transport it. On average, U.S. supermarket food travels 1,500 to 2,500 miles before it reaches the family table. Buying local food can reduce the amount of petroleum consumed to transport your dinner as much as 95 percent. Plus, local food is so much fresher and tastier. Try it, and I promise you will notice the difference.
Have you ever seen a purple pepper?
