• visit your local farmer's market.
• (1) handmade and homegrown food means less packaging.
• (2) shopping local is better for the environment. 
• (3) farmer's markets support local families and farmers. 
• (4) you will know where your food comes from. 
• (5) shopping local will save you a few dollars.
• (6) visiting communal events allows you to connect with your community.
• here are some great farmer's markets around Quebec. 
• if you are looking to REDUCE plastic packaging, you can check out this farm. 
• every week, you can select which fruits and veggies you would like.
• then, you can pick up the boxes of food from pick-up spots near you!
• the fresh, organic produce is delivered in returnable cardboard boxes.
• although some of the smaller produce is packaged, it certainly reduces the amount of plastic packaging that you would normally get from grocery stores. 
• you can recycle your plastic bags here once you are done with them.
