Eat Local, Organic and Seasonal to optimize Health

By eating local, organic and seasonal, you will be able to optimize the nutritional content in your food and support the local economy.  Visiting your local Farmer's Market can be a family fun event...even the dog is welcome.  From meeting the farmers and vendors, who have such passion for their products,  to listening to live music and taking a stroll, everyone is sure to have a great time!

·         Eat mostly local, seasonal, organic, fresh foods
·         Eat meat that is humanely raised, grass-fed, pasture raised, organic
·         Eat whole, unrefined, unprocessed, unpackaged food
·         Eat foods that are properly prepared to enhance their nutritional content and digestibility

·         Make your own foods at home, it’s fun, creative, and you are in control
·         Diets should never be about deprivation but always about nourishment and balance
