It’s in the Bag

Some are fun, some are pretty, some are even elegant. Some are just plain functional, and they sure come in all shapes and sizes. One thing they have in common, though, is that they are all Earth-friendly!

Take a look at some of the reusable bags and baskets our shoppers are carrying to bring home all those great market products each Saturday. More cities (and even some states) are banning plastic bags. Some opponents argue that paper bags aren’t much better than plastic in terms of environmental impact. Nonetheless, it’s seems safe to say that reusing bags as much as possible is a pretty green way to shop our market. You’ll notice our vendors offering bags for produce just in case you’ve forgotten one, but you can always decline and save a bag by using your own market shopping bag.

Soon the Western Wake Farmers' Market will offer insulated cooler bags for sale to keep your purchases cold while you shop. You'll be keeping your goods cool and supporting the market! More to come...
