I LOVE shopping farmers markets to supplement the produce I grow at home…and as a gardener I’m always curious as to a farmers growing methods. But in talking with a few of my farming friends, I’ve learned that many “farmers” at the market are anything but. Some are resellers of purchased produce, selling under the guise of being a farmer.
Some claim to grow in a certain way, but don’t. Now, of course this is not ALL farmers (or even a majority), but the rise of popularity in local and organic produce means there is a corresponding rise of people looking to take advantage of an uneducated consumer.
I hit up my friend Steven Cornett of Nature’s Always Right, a local farmer who sells at the market. Together we came up with 5 questions to ask your farmer at the market, AND the answers you’re looking for to see if they’re growing food in a way that aligns with food you want to buy.
