The Farmer's Market

Hello everyone,
On this day I will talk about the experience of a very pure local organic farmer's market. It was in Bryn Mawr. My family decided to check it out, to see if it held any promise. It was a wide selection of organic food, but boy was it expensive! We bought a sausage, duck eggs, chicken eggs, asparagus, goat pepper cheese spread, goat's milk, and some fruit jelly candies. The asparagus was $6 for a bunch, the sausage $13, and the candies 20 bucks! The cheese spread was $6 dollars for just a little cup. Though all this food was expensive, it was top quality, and as I will talk about in my next post made for a delicious organic local day! So basically what this farmer's market proved was organic expensive and local even more. At first I thought that local was the same price as far away, but my mom said at this other farmer's market she went to, the organic local strawberries were much more expensive than the organic California strawberries at Trader Joes. Right now organic food is expensive, but that is because conventional food is now our main diet. If more people bought organic food and less conventional food, the cost would lower. So buying organic is for a worthy cause!
