A Way of Life: Healthy Eating and Physical Activity

Have you heard of Advocates for Health in Action (AHA)? This group, comprised of some 40 organizations, seeks to create a healthier Wake County! AHA’s goal is to promote healthful eating and physical activity for everyone in our community, and focuses on 4 work groups to accomplish this. One of the groups is Local Foods. Check out AHA’s web site to learn more about what the folks there are doing, including the Local Foods page, where there is lots of great information about community gardens, CSAs (community supported agriculture) and farmers’ markets.

Be sure to bookmark the site too and check out its growing calendar of community events and the new blog, to which the Western Wake Farmers’ Market will occasionally contribute articles. There are plenty of links to great resources in our community! Plus, if you’re on FaceBook, you can become a fan of AHA and you’ll receive instant updates on area events, such as where to pick apples in our area and more. If you're not already, become a fan of the farmers' market too!
