Here Are Four Important Questions To Ask Vendors At Your local Farmer's Market

Some vendors at farmer's markets actually aren't local, but travel from market to market. Just because it's sold at a farmer's market, doesn't mean it's local.
Where do you get your seeds from and are they heirloom? Heirloom means that the seed has been used in the family year after year or for generations.
Do you use pesticides and how much do you use?
Do you use organic growing methods; is your farm certified organic?
These are questions that need to be asked in order to get good produce. When I was selling at the market, our produce was certified organic, and we had our produce labeled as such so there was no doubt.
