Arrive early for the best selection. The market opens at 6:00 a.m.

picked product; typically, mid-morning. This is a great opportunity to
purchase fresh fruits and vegetables with which to "paint your plate".

Hello everyone,
More than 100 years ago the major causes of death, such as pneumonia,
tuberculosis, bronchitis, and digestive diseases, were most likely to
have been "caught". Taking into consideration one can't avoid
hereditary and some environmental factors, today's diseases are most
likely to be "contracted" from neglect of the body.
Examples are heart disease and stroke, cancer, and diabetes.
Benefit your health status by employing positive choices and remember
"stick-with-it-ness" counts! |
