Dr. Almond, a psychotherapist in private practice, is Emeritus Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University and the mother of three sons.

Top Ten Reasons to SHOP the Foster City Farmers’ Market:

10. Support our state and local economies. Farmers’ Market produce is grown in California—so the money remains in our community and stimulates the local economy.

9. Learn about the produce you buy. Ask farmers where it was grown, what variety it is and get cooking suggestions.

8. Discover different varieties of produce. Produce that’s bred for flavor, not its ability to travel.

7. Support local farmers. Farmers’ Market farmers get the whole dollar (vs. commercial farmers, who get just .25 from each dollar’s worth of produce sold).

6. Reduce your carbon footprint. Purchasing locally grown produce saves fuel and resources otherwise spent on long distance shipping.

5. Enjoy delicious fresh produce. Picked ripe and sold within a day or two. Supermarket produce can travel up to two weeks, which compromises flavor.

4. Help preserve open spaces. Working farms do this without using tax dollars.

3. Connect with your community. Visit with farmers, mingle with neighbors and meet new people.

2. Enjoy the beauty (and variety!) of fresh flowers. The types of flowers at Farmers’ Markets vary with the season, but they’re always beautiful.

and the #1 reason to shop the Foster City Farmers’ Market:

1. Farmers’ Market produce always yields tasty results!
