There is a growing market today for local, organic foods produced by small farmers. And farmers' markets have played a large role in making that happen.

Eric Schlosser

I cook. I go to farmers markets in London and cook really good sort of organic foods.

Keira Knightley

SNAP benefits help local economies because the benefits are spent at local grocery stores - with locally grown and locally-made products. I remember many years ago, while on food stamps, I advocated for the benefits to be spent at local farmers markets - a move that has helped local economies even more.

Deb Haaland

Former brownfields, depressed urban areas, and hard-hit rural towns blossom as eco-industrial parks, green enterprise zones, and eco-villages. Farmers' markets, community co-ops, and mobile markets get fresh, organic produce to the people who can't afford to shop at health-food stores.

Van Jones

I'm super supportive of locally grown foods and farmers. Here in L.A., I know all of my farmers markets and go there weekly.

Anna Getty

People should go to their local grocery store or farmers' market and buy ugly, misshapen foods, then cook with them and document their dishes. And share not only the funny-looking foods, but the fantastic results.

Dana Cowin

I've got to find local farmers and get natural foods.

Sharon Jones

For me, summer hasn't really started until tomatoes reappear in local farmers' markets.

Jose Andres

I love checking out aspiring bakers' offerings at local farmers' markets when the weather is nice.

Christina Tosi

We must go beyond organic, as it is currently defined in the National Organic Standards, and strive for food that is not only healthful and natural but also local... Buying locally means farmers get more of the food dollar, we get better nutrition, and less fuel is consumed in transport.

Kathleen Merrigan

I grew up spending summer Saturdays at the local farmers' market, where my mom was a vendor. It fueled my passion for regional foods.

Grace Potter

It's rubbish to say that just because it's organic, it's better. There's good organic, and there's bad organic. We should all be thinking about taste, not some stamp on the package.

Tom Parker Bowles

Organic is something we can all partake of and benefit from. When we demand organic, we are demanding poison-free food. We are demanding clean air. We are demanding pure, fresh water. We are demanding soil that is free to do its job and seeds that are free of toxins. We are demanding that our children be protected from harm. We all need to bite the bullet and do what needs to be done—buy organic whenever we can, insist on organic, fight for organic and work to make it the norm. We must make organic the conventional choice and not the exception available only to the rich and educated.

Maria Rodale

"Free markets" is a very general term. There are all sorts of problems that will emerge. Free markets work best when the transaction between two individuals affects only those individuals. Most often, a transaction between you and me affects a third party. That is the source of all problems for government. That is the source of all pollution problems, of the inequality problem. This reality ensures that the end of history will never come.

Milton Friedman

Many young and beginning farmers start out in local markets. Some stay there, and some scale up.

Tom Vilsack

Throughout high school, I peddled my eggs, had a vendor stand at the local curb market - precursor to today's farmers' markets - and competed in 4-H contests and interscholastic debate.
