To create a healthier life, I ditched most processed food and started eating lots of real foods full of antioxidants that boost the immune system and anti-inflammatory nutrients that reduce inflammation. If you're wondering where to find the best real food, talk to the produce manager at your favorite supermarket to find out if the store sells local produce, look for organic real food at chains like Whole Food Markets and Earth Fare, and be sure to check out your local farmer's market.
Farmer's markets are a great place to find lots of fresh real food.The food is usually grown locally so it has not been transported over long distances before you buy it. Many farmer's markets offer organically grown produce. You can often speak to the person who planted and harvested the crop to ask questions about the use of pesticides and GMO (genetically modified organism) seeds. Organic farmers are great advocates for eating real food and are frequently willing to discuss their growing methods with you.

Farmer's markets are located in towns large and small around the country. My friendly little hometown of Red Bay, AL has a population of a little over 3000 and we have a farmer's market that's open every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday during gardening season.
There is a wonderful farmer's market in Madison, AL, a city of 50,000 people, where we shopped many Saturdays when we lived there. Madison City Farmer's Market

We enjoy traveling in our motorhome. I love to buy fresh fruit and vegetables from local farmer's markets when we are cruising around our beautiful country. We discovered a great one when we were in Kansas City, MO, population 500,000.The historic City Market has been selling fruit and vegetables in approximately the same location in downtown Kansas City since 1857. It was a fun place to visit and to restock our supply of fresh produce. Kansas City Market
