Accomplish Your New Year's Resolutions at the Farmers Market
What if there was one convenient place where you could make progress on ALL of your 2009 goals?
*Eat more fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetable.
*Share more meals with my family - cook more meals at home.
*Say no to paper and plastic. REMEMBER my reusable bags.
*Invest my dollars in local businesses.
*Slow down. Create weekly rituals. Enjoy today.
It's all possible at the farmers market. A weekly trip to the farmers market is a positive first step toward a happy and healthy New Year. |

Farm to Fork
Each week, Farm to Fork, a project of MFM and Marin Agricultural Institute (MAI), delivers hundreds of pounds of local food to a growing community of local schools, restaurants, corporate cafeterias and catering services, straight from the farmers and producers of MFM. Since the program sprouted in 2006, over $300,000 of local food has been sourced from over 70 local producers and delivered to 42 local customers.
To learn more about the program please visit Marin Agricultural Institute's website.
Many thanks to the funders that helped get Farm to Fork up and running, including: Western SARE,
Kaiser Permanente, Marin Community Foundation and Gaia Fund.
