LexZeroWaste is all about reducing waste in our lives. And Plastics in particular. Shopping at the Farmer’s Market is not just a great way to support local producers, but it is also a good way to shop for products with less packaging.
The first week of August we handed out cotton mesh, reusable produce bags at the Lexington Farmers Market to the first 300 people to arrive. These bags can be washed and reused over and over and keep veggies fresh longer.
We have also provided 3000 compostable bags to the four farms at the Market to use during August to reduce their reliance on plastic produce bags. When you are done using these green produce bags, they may be added to your curbside Black Earth compost.
If you missed our free give-away, we encourage you to reuse produce bags that you have, and remember to bring your own grocery bags whenever and wherever you shop!
