*Many of the veggies are coming into season at your local farmers market.  Be sure to ask them if they grow the produce on their own farm and not bringing it in from other places.  Ask if they spray pesticides on any of the mature produce.  We grow our own veggies in our garden and freeze 75% of them for the winter ahead.  It’s planning and strategy but the benefits for your family are worth it!  I buy raw milk, cheese, butter, and other household staples from either a bulk food distributor, local farm or the grocery store.
