In
an Earth market, you will only find producers
selling their
own products. In this way they have the opportunity to
explain
the quality of their goods and take personal responsibility for their
work. Earth Markets are a unique farmer's market model, one which has
never been established in the US, in that all of the food will have
cultural ties to the community. The products and farms at
Earth
Market Greenville, SC will revolve around the South Eastern US, and one
which celebrates farmers and farms who make everyday commitments to
preserving the earth, the soil, the air and water by their farming
practices. Refusing to use chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides,
steroids, hormones, and seeds which are genetically modified takes much
more effort on their part, and reduces the amount of product they will
be able to sell, yet because of their devotion to these age old
methods, the farm products are free of any harmful additives to the
consumer's health, reducing the risk of cancer and other diseases, and
which prevents future risks of diseases by not adding these harmful
substances to the water or soil systems.
