Tips when buying:
Talk to the farmer about their farming practices - specifically ask about pesticide and herbicide use, we want to limit and avoid these as much as possible
Avoid GMF (genetically modified foods)
Buy local over organic (once you know the farm’s practices)
Buy in bulk at the end of the day - ask for best pricing options
