The Last Farmers Market Post in 2017 for EWB

This is EWB’s last Farmers Market post for 2017. Doesn’t seem possible that August is almost over. We have tried to highlight some of the great Farmers Markets in WNY as well as all the positive reasons to visit these markets while at home or traveling.

EWB was at the Colorado Springs Farmers Market last week and throughly enjoyed the roasted green chili peppers that were sampled. The nuts, snacks and wines were also delightful.

We learned that as in NYS, in Colorado, SNAP EBT cards can be doubled when used to buy fruits and veggies. So $10 will provide $20 worth of yummy fruits and veggies when using your SNAP EBT cards.

If you know of a Farmers Market that is doing something very unique or different please let us know. We want to share all the great ideas and local resources so everyone can eat healthier and be happier. Remember most of the Farmers Markets actually end in October so make sure and keep supporting them into the fall. EAT WELL BUFFALO.

  • 6 days ago While spending part of my childhood growing up near Miami, we frequented a fabulous kosher restaurant called Corky’s. On each dining table there were bowls of whole dill pickles+ sauerkraut. The very best dills and fermented cabbage ever! I have found the luscious and addicting taste in a garlic dill kraut made by  @barrelnbrine , a local Buffalo favorite. Healthy, naturally fermented, probiotic rich and delicious, I urge you to try this along with other fermented foods such as kombucha. Small positive changes make a difference. You can also purchase this at  @hersanctuarybuffalo  located at 1438 Hertel Avenue.  #eatwellbuffalo   #buffalo   #bestlife 
  • 1 week ago Falling leaves, cooler temperatures and Halloween all happen in October. The tenth month also is Breast Cancer awareness month where education, support and screening are highlighted. We know increased intake of fruit and veggies has numerous health benefits including the potential of reducing breast cancer risk. Think about small changes that you can make to reduce your risk of this chronic disease. Eat the rainbow and start now by just adding one beautiful fruit or veggie a day. Start small, but start.  #eatwellbuffalo   #bestlife   #breastcancerawareness   #healthy-food   #smallchanges   #eattherainbow 
  • 1 week ago Eat Well Buffalo, as part of the  @herkitchenbuffalo  initiative, was thrilled to present to a fantastic group of women WNYHeroes.org at the Hyatt/Amherst yesterday. Healthy eating and cooking using spices and herbs was discussed and we came away feeling energized and honored spending time with these great ladies. Thank you. #eatwellbuffalo   #buffalo   #herkitchenbuffalo   #wnyheroesfemaleveteransgroup   #bestlife   #spices   #healthyeating   #healthyliving 
  • 3 days ago A home cooked meal is a labor of love. Cook more at home for better health, saving money and loving life. Nothing beats a home cooked meal. Enjoy life, cook more.  #eatwellbuffalo   #bestlife   #cookathome   #buffalo   #healthyliving   #cook 
  • 5 days ago Veggie burgers aren't just for vegetarians anymore! EWB's favorite is black bean burgers and we make them with lots of black beans, bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, seeds and spices. Besides protein, these beauties have lots of fiber- which is something that animal protein never contains! Research has linked plant-based diets with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and other health benefits. Whether you’ve recently cut out meat totally from your diet or are just trying to eat less of it, plant-based proteins can help fill the void- and they are delicious, nutritious and easy to make.
