NUTRITION NOTES

Follow Me to the Farmers Market

With the weather warming up, now is the perfect time to make a trip to a local farmers markets. Farmers markets are great places to find locally grown fruits and vegetables. Another great thing about farmers markets is the opportunity to try a new piece of produce you have not tried before! By talking to the farmers at the market, customers can learn more about the new produce and how to make it.

Aiming for at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day is a great way to keep healthy and prevent illness. Some produce you can expect to see at this time of year includes asparagus, cabbage, lettuce, mushrooms, rhubarb, radishes and squash.
