It's a fantastically diverse community event every Saturday that our family always looks forward to. The MFM allows us to teach our 5-year-old valuable lessons about where food comes from, what kinds of food are healthy and safe, and that fruits and vegetables grow in SEASONS. Our son was quite disappointed to find that swiss chard wasn't available during a portion of the summer, but he's excited to have it back for the fall. If one only buys from the grocery store, the idea that certain things only grow well at certain times is lost, and people don't see the pride that local growers take in their efforts.
