I love fresh produce, farmers markets, buying direct from the grower and developing a relationship with my local growers, taking advantage of low prices and high quality produce in season, preserving a portion of the abundance for later, and especially the atmosphere of the Market. In Urban areas, many families prioritize attending the local market on a weekly basis.
With a slow economy, savvy families are learning how to can, freeze, dry the bounty of the harvest in season to make ends meet and focus on developing the old-fashioned skills of food preservation.
