It's not too late to celebrate National Farmers Market Week!

You can feel the excitment of the shoppers and vendors in this video clip.

"I don't know if I've met a vegetable that I don't like," says one enthusiastic vendor when asked his favorite. 

Another farmer relates, "Our farm wouldn't exist without this farmers market." 

It makes you realize the importance of farmers markets, not only to the shopper, but to the farmers and vendors.   Farmers markets help bring the community together, giving farmers and vendors a venue to showcase the fruits of their labor (literally). 

Show your support for the people who provide fresh products through sustainable agriculture this week and every week.

Farmers markets are a great way for communities to reclaim their cities and for their citizens to reclaim their health.
