When you buy local food, it tastes better and lasts longer. Just think of it from the perspective of your apple: no long truck ride across the country in the dark, no sprays with waxes to preserve it, no lingering in supermarket loading docks waiting for attention. Local is a more sustainable model. 🍎🍏

This weekend, you can use SNAP & HIP these local markets:

The Farmers Market at Forest Park on Sunday, March 21 from 10am-2pm in the historic monkey house at Forest Park.

Easthampton Farmers' Market on Sunday, March 22 from 10am -2pm in Eastworks marketplace entrance.
