Mahalo expert Kristina Jackson is a natural food chef and certified holistic lifestyle consultant. In this video, she tells how to navigate a farmers' market.
How to Navigate a Farmers Market
- Survey the scene. Walk one full loop around the farmer's market.
- See what the farmer's have.
- See what's in season.
- Make a list of the stands you'll want to return to.
- Talk to the farmers and get to know them.
- Ask about their farming practices.
- Find out if they're certified organic, or if they're still using natural farming methods.
- Taste the food. Famers want you to try their foods. They want to talk to you about their farming, and they want to discuss the benefits of eating their foods. So, don't be shy. Get out there and enjoy!
