A great way to get healthy food is to visit a local farmer's market. Farmer's markets offer tons of fresh produce that have sometimes been harvested within the last 24 hours. They also offer other products like dairy, meats and seafoods. Shopping at a farmer's market supports the local community and it can be enjoyable to shop outside. Check your local newspaper or city's website to see if you can find a listing for farmer's markets in your area.
Another good option is to join a CSA, which is a subscription with a local farm to receive a box of fruits and vegetables available from the farm. This is a great way to boost your fruit and vegetable intake. Visit localharvest.org to find out if there is a program in your area.

I just found a link from my official state web site to farmers' markets! Most outside markets open in June and run through October. They usually are open one or two days per week for a few hours so get there early!
