Do you tend to shop for the same fruits and veggie Do you tend to shop for the same fruits and veggies over and over? 🥦🥦🥦

While there is nothing wrong with having some favorite produce, shopping in season at a Farmers Market will help your SNAP/EBT benefits stretch a little further so you can get more for what you spend. 

Check out what's in-season this summer at: snaped.fns.usda.gov/seasonal-produce-guide/summer. Tap the link in our bio 🔝

Have you ever wondered what it means to buy local Have you ever wondered what it means to buy local or buy in-season?🌻🌞🍂❄️

🟧 Buying local supports your community. 

🟧 Buying in-season means you're more likely to find fresher foods that are more flavorful and nutritious.

The best way to tell if something is in-season where you live is to visit your #FarmersMarket!👨‍🌾

💚 Unlike big grocers, products from your #Farme 💚 Unlike big grocers, products from your #FarmersMarket go through just a few hands—the farmer's and yours—before reaching your plate. 

💚 Produce that is sold at your local Farmers Market has traveled less and has more flavor! Not to mention that it could be less expensive.

#TIP for #NationalFarmersMarketWeek: 

💚 Visit different booths to pick up seasonal fruits, veggies, beans, dairy products, and Florida honey to build a healthy plate.
