1) Get There Early—the best stuff sells out first

2) Know Your Seasons—knowing what foods grow in which  season makes decisions and meal planning easy.  (see seasonal chart on the side)

3) Bring Sturdy Bags—to be really eco-friendly bring reusable cloth bags. Add a backpack or shopping cart to transport your larger hauls.

4) Getting Bored with the Same-old stuff? -  consult recipe pages on the internet to bring a fresh twist to you table. Also try tip #5.

5)    Have Fun, Be Adventurous—Try a new vegetable or fruit. If you don't know how to prepare it, ask the vendor how they like to eat it!

6) K.I.S.S.— Keep It Simple Shoppers: The produce you’re buying is ultra-fresh. Let its natural flavor  shine through by keeping preparation simple.
