Foraging for a Healthy and Sustainable Meal
As part of our Heart Health Initiative, I planned an outing to a local farmers market in Rockville. We passed out shopping bags, talked about what questions we would ask the farmers: (1) Is the produce grown locally? (2) Is the produce organic? We also took a quick look at a cookbook that I like, Simply in Season
This is a smaller market, but there were two farms with a nice selection of wonderful looking fruits and veggies -- Scenic View Orchards and Mountain Valley Orchard. I didn't see anyone buying kale even though I kept telling them how yummy Cindy Mann's kale chips are, but everyone seemed to find something to try.
I hope ths will be the first of many ASHA staff trips to the farmer's market.
