During our most recent Cleanse Retreat in Thailand, I had the opportunity to visit with the local market vendors that set up shop everyday. Since many people do not have refrigeration or much room for storage at home, they purchase daily from the market. Plenty of exotic tropical fruits, vegetables, fishes, meats, and other interesting sources of protein.
Fall 2005/Winter 2006 — Foods that are grown in the local climate where you live provide a powerful connection to how you nourish yourself. Whether you are in a cooler climate as in Freiburg, Germany or on a tropical island in Hawaii, locally grown foods are always the wisest choice.

The farmers markets in Istanbul are a feast for the eyes as well all the senses. The local bazaars provide weekly community gatherings around the fresh produce, grains and beans, seeds and nuts, herbs and spices, eggs, fresh caught fish, olives and cheeses.
