Shop At A Missouri Fresh Produce Market

By George Stevens


Make a trip to the local market a fun family outing. If it is planned right, the children will love finding special products at a Missouri fresh produce market. Encourage them to find food they would like to try. Include them in discovering how to prepare it at home.

The freshness of the fruits and vegetables at the fresh market is the main reason for going there. It is even fresher than what you might find in the grocery store or health food store. Those vegetables and fruits are picked before they are totally ripe and then they are in transit several days to get them to the store. Usually the local crops are picked and sold the very same day.

An advantage of shopping in a local farmers market is the possibility of getting to know the small farmers from the local area and the small business owners. It is a great way to help the local people succeed in their local businesses and a great way to make new friends. Some owners give special discounts to people who buy from them on a regular basis.

Many of the farmers that sell their fruits and vegetables locally plant and grow them organically. That makes them healthier and safer for the whole family to enjoy. In many cases no chemicals are used at all.

The taste of a tomato locally grown and one purchased from the grocery store are considerably different. The local tomato has a much more delicious taste because it is not picked when it is green. The best and most tastiest meals that can be cooked are those that use local fruits and vegetables.

It is not uncommon for the small business owners and local farmers to sell their crops at reasonable prices even if it is considered organic. Those items labeled organic in the local stores are usually considerably higher priced even if they are not fresh. The local sellers can sell their food cheaper because they have less overhead.

Seasonal produce is what is most commonly found in the fresh markets in the community. Vegetables and fruits change as the seasons change. This makes it possible for the entire community to enjoy the truest and most delicious flavors and allows them to experience the freshness of seasonal produce. Little by little the local people get used to using and eating the food available during each season.

Do not be surprised when you find different fruits and vegetables and food in general at these markets that you cannot find in the supermarket. Some ladies make special items like fresh cheese, different styles of homemade bread or pastries, special types of vinegar and they often offer local honey. Tasting these items is something everyone enjoys. Feel free to ask questions and learn how to use and prepare them, too.
