In
my never ending quest to attempt to eat as natural and organic as
possible, I'm thankful for the many farmers markets in my area. In fact,
just a few miles away from me in Roseville, California is the largest
farmers market in the Sacramento region! That's right! It's Denio's Farmers Market & Swap Meet where you will find an abundance of local
produce, vendors, treasured finds and lots of amazing deals on everything you could
ever imagine. They're family-owned and operated, and have been around for 65
years now.
To kick off the Fall season, join in the fun with the Denio’s Scarecrow Festival and Parade on October 20th from 10am-3pm. There will be craft vendors, a costume parade, a live scarecrow auction, a scarecrow contest, trick or treating, and a whole lot more! Proceeds benefit the Caring for Kids & Community so we can support our local, Roseville kids! I'm planning on going to this great family event, so I hope I run into some of you!
I recently had the opportunity to visit Denio's on a regular Saturday, something I haven't done in years! My hubby LOVES Denio's and visited most weekends with his mom when he was a kid. So, this was a welcome, long-awaited trip to Denio's and something we will for sure be doing often from here on out! The fruits and veggies were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed taking home a few bags full of local, fresh produce.
Lately I've been trying to buy locally more often. In fact, I just signed up for a local CSA to have a big box of produce shipped to my door every other week. It's not everything I'll need so farmers markets like Denio's will still be visited frequently. For my family it's a start in the right direction to help my country, my state, and my city keep jobs IN AMERICA. So much of our produce is shipped in from other countries. Not only is that a big fat footprint on our planet, but also a lack of connection with where our food comes from and the relationship we should be establishing with our local farmers. It's so important to know WHERE our food comes from so we can make informed choices about what we decide to consume! So, my message to my readers today is to find your local farmers markets and small businesses and strive to support them as much as you can.
