Norman Farmers Market

I support the Norman Farmer's Mkt. because our local farmer's support our environment, the community's health (no steroids or hormones) and many of these farmers support animal's rights--free range grass-eating happy cows and chickens. I get raw honey there from a local beekeeper. I can drive in my car and visit these farms, or just look at the sight of contented animals rolling in the grass or frolicking with their young this spring. Factory farms, with their inhumane treatment of their inmates are not nearby. Norman is a college town, and this has contributed to the general level of understanding of how unhealthy and dangerously polluting are the practices of these factory farms. I am a farmer's daughter who moved to the city. I love the country and want to preserve it for future generations. I do not feel myself above the animals...fortunately I know that I am part of the interconnected web of life on our beloved planet. Our support of our local Farmer's markets is support of all life--our own included! They are vitally important. Thank you, Care2, for feeling the same way.
