Reasons to Buy Fresh, Local Food
Local produce tastes better and it's better for you. Since fresh produce loses nutrients quickly it's best to buy locally where it was picked within the past day or two. It is crisp, sweet and loaded with flavor.
Local food supports local farm families. Because farmers get less than 10 cents of the retail food dollar, farming is a vanishing lifestyle. By buying local, farmers are able to get full retail price for their food which means farm families can afford to stay on the farm, doing the work they love.
Local food is about the future. By supporting local farmers today, you can help ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow, and that future generations will have access to nourishing flavorful and abundant food.
Visit these local Farmer's Markets and discover color, texture and taste:- Plymouth City Park - Thurs 2-6:00 (June-Oct)
- Downtown Elkhart Lake- Sat 8:30-12:30 (June-Oct)
- Sheboygan Fountain Park -Wed & Sat 7-2:00 (June-Oct)
or buy a share at a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) site and receive a weekly box of locally grown chemical free produce from June-November.

| Patient Success Story

"After the season, my teammates and coach admitted that they never expected to see me on the court again."
On Wednesday February 24, during the last week of basketball practice, two days before the final regular season game against Waupun, I came down on a teammate's foot and sprained my ankle. My ankle swelled up like a balloon as soon as I took my shoe off. I immediately iced my ankle, had it wrapped and continued icing through all of the next day. I knew I would not be playing in Waupun on Friday February 26, but I was determined to do whatever I had to do to play in the regional game that was less than a week away.
On Friday February 26, I went to see Dr. Cindy Munson for light therapy, which I had heard about from teammates. Dr. Cindy did x-rays, light therapy and an adjustment. I felt so much better after the adjustment, something I probably really needed after the pounding on my body from football, basketball and weight lifting. Knowing how badly I wanted to get back on the court, Dr. Cindy suggested another appointment for an adjustment and light therapy on Sunday February 28th, yes SUNDAY! I took her up on it.
On Monday, March 1st I saw her again. I wasn't able to start the regional game on Tuesday March 2, less than a week after my sprain, but was able to play over three quarters of the game. I did continue therapy every other day and needed to have my ankle wrapped, but I was good enough to play the entire game on Thursday March 4 and again on Saturday March 6. Unfortunately the Saturday game ended up being the Panthers last game of the season and my last high school sporting competition, but I was able to play and my senior year did not end with an injury.
After the season, my teammates and coach admitted that they never expected to see me on the court again after they saw my ankle that first night. I know that the light therapy from Dr. Cindy had really helped my ankle heal. I am grateful to Dr. Cindy for her commitment to help me reach my goal of playing. She went out of her way on a Sunday to help me out. I do continue to get adjustments with Dr. Cindy which are relaxing and help get everything back where it needs to be.
Thanks for all you do Dr. Cindy,
Ian Murray
