Eat Local: Saturday Farmers Market
Posted by the Editor on Aug 7, 2010 in Ashtanga | 0 comments
While the produce isn’t from your neighbor’s backyard, the bounty at the weekly Greenmarket in McCarren Park is pretty darn close. Sometimes you’ll spend a bit more than at the grocery store, but often you’ll find yourself spending much less. Plus, you can glory in the fact that you are getting really close to the source of what you put in your body. You’re also able to literally put your money where your mouth is… Each dollar you spend is a vote, an investment if you will, for local, whole, healthy, sustainable, different, not factory farmed, etc. sustenance.
You are what you eat and eat what you are.
