A visit your local farmers market lets you
discover all sorts of fresh fruit and veggies grown by
farmers right in our area. Most towns in Northwest
Arkansas have farmers markets ... check for days
and times in the town where you live!
One of the things you're sure to find at
farmers markets this month are sweet, juicy
STRAWBERRIES!
May is National Strawberry Month, so celebrate
by buying strawberries, picking strawberries, or
having a strawberry picnic.
Our friends at Apple Seeds Teaching Farm invite
you to make some strawberry-infused water, or top
your carrot cake oatmeal with strawberries!
Our friends at Enhanced Healthcare want to
remind us that not only are strawberries sweet,
juicy and delicious—they are good for us too!
Strawberries are high in Vitamin C - Eating eight
strawberries is all it takes to consume 140 percent
of a child's recommended daily intake of Vitamin C!
But although strawberries are good for you, and
brighten up your day, they are not actually berries
at all!
Berries officially have seeds on the inside, not the
outside like strawberries do. Plus, to be a berry, a
fruit must have two or more seeds
By that definition, bananas and watermelons are
actually berries!! Crazy!!
it's May!
And farmers markets
are BACK!
strawberry-Mint Water
Try it with any flavors you have on hand.
We recommend rasberries, lemon, or even cucumber!
