Valley Junction Farmers Market

By: leigha (Jul 17, 2008)
I have been reading in newspapers, monthly magazines and hearing on news broadcasts... "go to your local farmers markets to get organic home grown food". So, we did. We went to West Des Moines' Farmers Market this afternoon. We got there at 4:30pm. It started at 4pm. There were 3-4 vendors selling fruits and veggies. The vendor I shopped at says they buy their food (not grow it themselves) and they spray chemicals on it. Another vender had a huge table with 8 veggies on it. I was very dissappointed. I wanted to buy produce from farmers who grow it themselves ORGANICALLY. I will not return to the Valley Junction Farmers Market any more this season.
