Part 1:  In this episode, I am joined by Jimmy Cesario-DeBiasi and Carolyn Snell.  Jimmy is the Director of Programs for the Maine Federation of Farmers' Markets and Carolyn is the Chair of the Farmers’ Market Association in Portland, Maine and a fourth-generation, farmer at Snell Family Farm located in Buxton, Maine.  We talk about the benefits of buying from local farms and farmers markets and the various programs offered through these markets including how they can double the dollars for people who receive SNAP benefits (food stamps). Part 2:  Weekly Words of Wisdom - Lynda shares a story of being approached by a stranger in a restaurant, inviting him to join her for dinner and how that one act of kindness may have changed his life.
