The 30% Fresh Food Challenge

To REALLY understand how much better  food is at The Brownsville Farmers' Market, you have to significantly incorporate Market food into your diet. The Brownsville Farmers’ Market has a small team of “test-eaters” who’ve agreed to eat 1/3 of their food from the Market. These test eaters are not only reporting feeling healthier and happier, but they’re also reporting that their cravings for fast-food and junk food are subsiding, if not vanishing altogether. And they’re losing weight. One reason that people over-eat is that their bodies don’t have the necessary vitamins and nutrients.  When a body gets the vitamins and nutrients it needs, hunger subsides.

   It’s true that some Market food may seem expensive, but when you consider that most Market food is superior to other food you’ll find in the region, and that Market food can help you improve your life in myriad ways, the extra expense is actually an inexpensive investment.  And because most Market farmers don’t use pesticides, eating food from the Market is an investment in the environment and ecology of the region, one that also promotes local jobs.

  So if your own job or personal goal is to promote the health, environment, ecology, or local production of goods in the Texas Valley, please accept the Brownsville Farmers’ Market’s 30% Challenge— eat 30% of your food from the Brownsville Farmers’ Market for three delicious weeks, and see how great you feel.

   If your job or personal goal is to promote health, environment, ecology, or the local production of goods, and you don’t eat at least 30% of your food from the Brownsville Farmers’ Market or other farmers markets, you might ask yourself  why.  

   The choice is each of ours to make. Lucky for everyone, the best choice is also the freshest and most delicious.

Come see us every Saturday morning through May at 6th & Ringgold, across the street from the Gladys Porter Zoo
