Editor's Note: Atlanta INtown has been extensively covering local markets and farmers. We thought this article by Misty McNally from the Green Guide website might be of interest to you.
Even the box labels can fool you. What might appear to be a crate of Florida tomatoes in an Iowa stand may actually be a container reused by a frugal and ecologically-minded farmer. Or the tomatoes might be from California—the same ones being sold at the supermarket. So how do you know the difference?
We urge you to follow the simple mantra of stop, look and listen. Soon you'll be on your way to supporting the growers and producers of your choice.
