Farmers Markets: The New Food Revolutionaries
http://www.goodfoodworld.com/

For generations, farmers and consumers were directly connected by the food
they grew and ate. In the early 1900s, nearly 40% of Americans lived on farms
and much of their food was produced at home or locally. Few foods were
processed other than canning, drying, salting or smoking, and typically
traveled less than a day to get to market.

It is today’s farmers market – ranging from a few trucks selling produce for
a few weeks during the growing season to well-established gatherings of
hundreds of vendors open year ‘round – that is reconnecting American
consumers to the land and to their food.
