			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The more you learn about where your food comes from, the more skeptical you become.  Once your eyes are open, even at a farmer&#8217;s market you start to wonder if people aren&#8217;t using unsustainable techniques to improve their bottom line.  Even if you think you know what you want, you and I probably aren&#8217;t farmers and it can be intimidating trying to ask questions about someone else&#8217;s profession.</p>
<p>Fortunately, I found a <a title="questions to ask at a farmers market" href="http://www.sustainabletable.org/spread/kits/">great resource</a> that provides a lot of simple questions you can ask to make sure you&#8217;re getting the best, most nutritious food there is available.  They even have specific one-page guides on what to ask <a href="http://www.sustainabletable.org/shop/questions/qanda_farmer_beef.pdf">beef farmers</a>, <a href="http://www.sustainabletable.org/shop/questions/qanda_farmer_hogs.pdf">pork farmers</a>, and others.  The first time you find yourself standing in front of a farmer and you ask &#8220;is your pork raised naturally?&#8221; and he looks at you like you just shot his dog, you&#8217;ll wish you had read through one of their guides!</p>
