Did you know that there are amazing health benefits whenever you buy your produce locally? There are many ways that shopping at the Farmer's Market contributes to a positive impact for your physical wellness!
Local fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak ripeness. This means that they retain more nutrients compared to produce that must travel long distances and lose nutrients over time. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help with gut health, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of chronic illnesses. And you can't deny the obvious about local produce- the taste is truly THAT much better than buying that same product at a grocery store.
It encourages mindful eating and healthy cooking at home, reducing reliance on ultra processed foods and fast food. Bringing the kids along to shop with you can get them excited to try new foods that they pick out, promoting healthier eating habits at an important age in life!
Buying from the market also promotes physical activity! While shopping, you are active by walking and carrying your purchases, which have many health benefits. Also, the sunlight on your skin produces much-needed vitamin D for your body. All these habits contribute to better sleep at night as well. Who can't benefit from better quality of sleep?!
So come on out and shop and support local, choose healthy lifestyles, and choose the Edmond Farmer's Market for your weekly grocery shopping!
📍The market is located in Downtown Edmond, 26 W First Street. One block west of Broadway.
🕗 We are open 8am-1pm each Saturday.
