You really know Spring has arrived when you see Farmer’s Markets open. Our market in downtown Murphy, NC opened a couple of weeks ago but I didn’t get down there until last week. It’s not running full blast yet but there is more than enough wonderful looking produce, yummy looking cakes and lots of crafts.
My favorite organic farmers from Candy Mountain Farms were there. Their produce is the best. (at least in my mind)
There are many farmer’s market popping up in every town. Check out you towns or near by towns and frequent them. The food is fresh, chemical free and good for you. Most importantly you are keeping your food dollars local and helping the community to thrive.

This is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day. I remember the first one and how I thought “it’s about time” I have been green my whole life and have been teased, ridiculed and sometimes supported. I had a Scout Troop for 13 years and the one thing I always stressed when out and about was to always leave a place better than you found it. I just hope those girls (now in their 30′s and 40′s) have remembered and passed it on to their children.
I’ve been lining up new shows for this season and had an opportunity to talk to our county extension office and Keith Wood said something that really hit home. People think that you have to invest a lot of money and make big changes to be green and that is not the case. It’s the little things we do every day that make the difference.
So, today, change one thing toward being green. Take you own reusable bags to the store, change out your light bulbs to energy saving ones, plant a small garden, car pool (even one day a week), turn out lights, etc. I’m sure you have more ideas than I could ever list.
You can make a difference.
