Lighter Side
Losing His Memory The man looked a little worried when the doctor
came in to administer his annual physical, so the
first thing the doctor did was to ask whether
anything was troubling him.
“Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes,” answered the
patient. “You see, I seem to be getting forgetful. No,
it's actually worse than that. I'm never sure I can
remember where I put the car, or whether I
answered a letter, or where I'm going, or what it is
I'm going to do once I get there — if I get there. So, I
really need your help. What can I do?”
The doctor mused for a moment, then answered in
his kindest tones, “Pay me in advance.”

TIPS FOR SHOPPING FARMER’S MARKETS
Your local farmer’s market is not only a great place to purchase fruits and vegetables that are
grown nearby; it’s a good opportunity to score other freshly baked and produced goods - from
pastries and jams to handmade jewelry and homegrown flowers. A farmer’s market is also a fun
way to spend a few hours on a fall day.
Another advantage of shopping a local farmer’s market is the prices. For a senior on a fixed
income, it’s tough to beat the affordability of fresh produce and baked goods.
How can you make the most of your weekly trip to the farmer’s market? We have a few tips to help
you master the market.
1. Bring your own bag. A farmer’s market essential is a sturdy bag to stash your goodies in. It’s
also an environmentally friendly way to shop. If you have other errands or stops to make
afterward, consider bringing a cooler with ice to keep your produce cold.
2. Wear comfortable shoes. When you shop at a farmer’s market, it’s guaranteed that you will do
a lot of walking. Wearing comfortable shoes is a must.
3. Bring cash. While some farmers might accept credit cards, cash is generally the preferred
currency. It’s also a great way to stay on budget and avoid indulging in too many impulse
purchases.
4. Talk with the growers. Vendors at farmer’s markets can be a great source of information and
advice. Make sure to talk with them as you make your rounds. There is much to be gained by
talking with those who grow or make items to sell at a farmer’s market, from learning how
things are grown to getting suggestions for how to prepare produce.
5. Shop early if you can. Farmer’s markets have gained in popularity in recent years. If you want
the largest variety of fruits, vegetables, and other goodies, it’s best to go early. You’ll not only
have the first pick of goods, you’ll probably have more time to chat with vendors.
6. Get to know the market. Most markets have regular vendors who set up in the same place
week after week. Once you get familiar with the market, you can visit your favorites each time
you shop. It helps you plan your menus and snacks for the week. One tip, however, is not to fall
into the trap of visiting only the vendors you’ve shopped before. Continue to explore new
vendors and those who sell just a few times a season.
7. Adhere to market etiquette. Few farmer’s markets encourage the haggling you often find at flea
markets or other sales. Before you try to barter with vendors, take time to learn market
etiquette. The market may discourage that type of behavior.
Finally, remember the health benefits you gain by shopping at a local farmer’s market. In addition
to providing you with an abundance of healthy foods to use in planning meals, you’ll reap the
cardiovascular benefits of walking. Those are two of the best steps for avoiding disease and living
your best life. Visit “The Link between Your Lifestyle & Cancer” to learn more about the habits and
choices that may help you prevent cancer.
Visit the Greeley Farmer’s Market from 8am—Noon; Saturdays at the Greeley Depot, 902 7th Ave.
