My friend Joanne Neft, who manages farmers markets throughout Placer County, will tell you that following the earth’s natural production cycle, eating food in season, is healthier and it saves on natural resources required to either transport or grow it under artificial conditions. See Joanne’s story at http://californiacountry.org/features/article.aspx?arID=766. I love your piece.

I am humbled to be able to be a part of this. It’s not a movement, it’s a way of life! Open markets have existed – with local foods – for thousands of years, so why should they be new, or even debatable, now?
Amazing, inspiring, beautiful documentary artwork.
Thank you =)

Building community is an old idea that use to happen before cars and garage door openers. The Farmers’ Market is a community. Thank you for putting the community in heartfelt images.
