Dublin Farmers' Market: September 9th

"Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!"

Reasons to Shop at Your Local Farmers Market

There is more to shopping at your local farmers markets than buying local. Although this is an excellent attribute to supporting your local farmers markets, a study conducted by the University of Iowa indicates that when we hand over the cash for our coveted and local Cherokee Purples (a fabulous tomato), we are engaged in a lot more than shopping for food.

“The surprise is that there really are a variety of reasons why people go to the farmers market,” said study coauthor Ion Vasi (University of Iowa). Those reasons go beyond the improved freshness and taste of a higher-quality product. In jargon-heavy academia, farmers markets fit into what theorists call “moralized markets.” In common parlance, we might say we’re shopping our values, or, put more politically, voting with our dollar. - The Reasons Why We Shop at Farmers Markets Are Bigger Than Local Food, By: Sarah McColl, for TakePart
