Little girl at Farmers' Market

More and more people are becoming interested in learning about local food and community supported farms and agriculture. Farmers' markets, and community gardens are on the rise and people are becoming more aware and interested in where their food is grown. Organic foods, grown without the use of pesticides, are much more common, and can be found in grocery stores and even some restaurants.
