Eating more fruits and vegetables can help you lose weight, stay fit, and reduce your risk for many chronic diseases. And they taste great – especially when you get them fresh and in season. You can now stretch your food dollars and get MORE fresh Michigan-grown produce when you shop at a farmers’ market that is part of Fair Food Network’s Double Up Food Bucks program!
