Benefits of Farmers' Market Eating (Emeril Video)

From farm to table with Marc Rey, President of Waverly Farmers' Market.

Mon May 04 07:00:00 GMT 2009

Do you love going to the farmers' market but feel a bit intimidated once you get there? That can often be the case even for the most regular customers. Bridget likes to go at least a few times a month but can never decide what to buy. She looks at all the amazing produce and is unsure what to do with it all, so often ends up getting the same thing over and over again.

In the recent From Market to Table episode of Emeril Green, Emeril tells Bridget the next time that she goes to the farmers' market to ask the farmers what they will be harvesting next. This way, she can plan her meals ahead of time and have a good idea of what she wants before she goes. This is a great tip for eliminating that overwhelming feeling once you get there.

Marc Rey, the President of Waverly Farmers' Market reminds us what's so wonderful about our area farmers' markets:

The food at the farmers' market either came out of the ground or off the tree just 24 hours before. So you're getting the freshest foods available.

There's minimal shipping involved which reduces your carbon footprint.

The money goes straight to the local farmers that produce the food that we love so much.

For more about farmers' market recipes check out the From Market to Table episode of Emeril Green.
