More Resources to Help You Find Fresh Local Foods Produced by Sustainable Agriculture, Join the Slow Food Movement in Your State!
By regularly visiting your flea or farmers markets you will likely be supporting your local economy, environment, and the small farm families that take great pride in the bounties of the Earth they cultivate.
Local fresh organic foods grown in harmony with nature is at the heart of the growing sustainable "slow food" movement.
You too will reap what you sow when you resurrect and cultivate the wise and frugal by-gone era family tradition of practicing a weekly "Market Day" in your town.
Find More Sustainable Local Food Sources (in addition to the above state farmers markets):
I set up the following app to simultaneously search all the below top ag-related websites to find the best sources of all types of fresh local food. Give it a try and see what nearby fresh food sources pop up...
Your Local Food Finder
Enter your town, county, state, or zip code, and specific keywords related to the type or source of sustainably grown food you seek. For example: "free-range eggs washington dc"
Sources integrated into the above Local Food Finder App:
The National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service has an excellent resource to help you find local food directories and related promotional programs in your state.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service administers all sorts of local and national programs to help bring growers and consumers together.
For Your Shopping Pleasure at Alaska Farmers Markets Consider the Following Shopping Carts, Trolleys, Reusable Tote Bags, Hand Trucks, and Baskets
Take it from me, carrying just a few pounds of farmers market finds like bags of fresh fruits and vegetables will tire your arms out very quickly, put more strain on your feet, and will have you wishing you had prepared ahead of time to bring some sort of market bag, basket, or wheeled shopping cart.
Below are some suggested items for making your market stroll a lot more convenient, efficient, and enjoyable. I particularly recommend one of the below shopping carts with folding chair built in.
You can always tell who the more savvy Alaska Farmers Market shoppers are because they will be the ones hauling their goodies around in the collapsible trolleys, strollers, shopping carts, and market baskets.
(you can place your cursor over each item for more details and a bigger image, or use the search box to find something else.)
Tip: Baby strollers and beach carts are also great for hauling things at farmers markets.
What a Great Idea! Rolling Carts With a Chair. Haul It and Then Have a Seat When You Need a Rest...
