I purchase raw honey from the farmer’s market

I would rather not waste my money purchasing those processed honey because the quality is nowhere near that of the raw honey

One of my favorite things to do is to go to the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings. I love buying locally grown fresh produce from the market. I believe the quality of the fruits and veggies are so much better than the ones that are in the store, and I can rest assured that the veggies aren’t being mass produced. I especially love that I can get watermelons with seeds in them because they are hard to find in my regular grocery store. Most people prefer to have the seedless watermelons, but I grew up having seeds in my melons, so I prefer to keep it that way. Besides the produce, I love the farmer’s market because I can also purchase local raw honey. Usually, there are quite a few vendors that sell raw honey, so it is always in supply. Typically, I spend between $8 and $10 for a jar of raw honey and though it’s a lot more expensive than the regular honey in the grocery store, I know that I am getting the best product that money can buy. Not to mention, a lot of the honey that is sold in the grocery stores is processed as well as filled with additives. I would rather not waste my money purchasing those processed honey because the quality is nowhere near that of the raw honey. Of course, the grocery store also sells raw honey, but if you check the labels on the jars, that raw honey is usually from a farm that is halfway across the country. Personally, I prefer to buy my raw honey from the farmer’s market because I know that I am supporting local businesses.
