Questions to Ask at a Farmers Market or of a Farmer
The more you learn about where your food comes from, the more skeptical you become. Once your eyes are open, even at a farmer’s market you start to wonder if people aren’t using unsustainable techniques to improve their bottom line. Even if you think you know what you want, you and I probably aren’t farmers and it can be intimidating trying to ask questions about someone else’s profession.
Fortunately, I found a great resource that provides a lot of simple questions you can ask to make sure you’re getting the best, most nutritious food there is available. They even have specific one-page guides on what to ask beef farmers, pork farmers, and others. The first time you find yourself standing in front of a farmer and you ask “is your pork raised naturally?” and he looks at you like you just shot his dog, you’ll wish you had read through one of their guides!
