To Market to Farmers Market to buy some Capital Kettle Corn

(Gabriella’s Corner at the Market)

This Saturday in May we visited the Silver Spring Farmers Market

http://freshfarmmarkets.org/farmers_markets/markets/silver_spring.php to buy

some fresh produce (local veggies and fruits) and we found JC Clark owner of Capital Kettle Corn http://capitolkettlecorn.us/ a local business that supplies once in a while treats to everyone!! Sugar is okay in moderation...

Gabriella interviewed him and found out that he purchases his corn from a local source usually within a 150 mile radius and it has no GMO very important!! His source is one of the only corn sources locally that does not have GMO’S. (Genetically Modified Organisms)

 JC expressed to Gabriella the importance of supporting the environment with sustainable food and how getting it locally from the only local producer of popcorn the Chesapeake Bay food shed is important. Rather then having to have it come in from as far as the Midwest or California which could take 4-5 days which of course causes more gas emissions and pollution !!

His efforts of buying local also supports local farmers so that they can get a fair shake at earning a living and continuing to grow and supply healthy locally grown food to everyone!!! Which is healthier!!

 The flavors are very unique and creative Gabriella’s favorite was the chocolate and cinnamon flavor. Delicious. Delicious…..Thank you JC for enlightening us!!! We enjoyed learning from you!

By till later…Eat Well Be Well!!
