What's behind the food on your plate? Discover the power of shopping local!

Miss Carrot introduces young readers ages 9–12 (Grades 4–6) to conscious consumption, buying local and environmental responsibility.

While creating a photo report about local food, Lisa visits a farmers' market with her dad and discovers how everyday shopping choices can make a difference.
