Because many of us live in what is classified as a “food desert” which means we have less access to healthy foods it can be hard at times to find healthy food options. Look for farmer’s markets to shop at in the summer months. Purchasing fresh, locally grown food is the best way to have a healthy food options and help your local economy. Another option to look into is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share. Other ways to find healthy food options include shopping direct from the farm.
