As the founder of a non-profit that operates multiple farmers markets, I am passionate about encouraging healthy lifestyles, and it is especially important to me to introduce children to healthy food and farming. We frequently incorporate exercise programs at all of our farmers markets as part of the movement to move your body and make healthier food choices. Combining the Fitness DAWGS concept with farmers markets is brilliant! The DAWGS are so fun and engaging, and I just know they will have a huge impact on the lives of thousands and thousands of children. And when children learn how to eat better and appreciate real food and the farmers who grow it, combined with exercise…they influence their families and the communities in which they live in such positive and measurable ways!
