A new study said that eating organic food isn’t necessarily good for you. Well I say, Bunk! I’m going to stick with avoiding foods that contain excessive pesticides, herbicides and hormonal fillers for my kids.
Whether
you are into making your own baby food or just feeding the family
wholesome home grown fruits and vegetables from a local source, your
best bet is to hit the local farmer’s market near you to stock up on
goodies. Even in urban areas, cooperatives of farmers make arrangement
to bring their wares into the city. Most of the time, even if the foods
are not “certified” organic by the USDA, you can rest assured that many
of the produce are often grown with little pesticides and other
chemicals because the farmers eat the food they sell as produce. In many
markets, you can also find small businesses that sell homemade baked
goods and breads or fresh picked flowers.

When
my little one as in swim class at a local pool, we made it a weekend
adventure to hit the farmer’s market that started shortly before swim
class was over and stock up for the week!
