Real Easy! Real Time Farms! Mount Clemens Farmers Market always wants our customers to know *where*, *when *and *what *is fresh and available at our market and ‘real time’ market photos accomplishes that for us.... *each* market day! It's wonderful that RTF has the ability to update our web page slide show as new photos are posted. That's time we can spend waiting on our customers instead! Lately, customers have been telling us that they come more often now to the MCFM, than they have in the past, because the photos remind them to ‘buy local’ and inspire them to make healthier food choices. Just from a photo or two......Amazing! "One picture is worth a thousand words”… has to be the ‘inspiration’ for Real Time Farms!" says Pearl, Mount Clemens Farmers Market Manager. "I am very excited about the launch of Real Time Farms. It's a fantastic resource that will help raise awareness of the wonderful diversity of items that local producers bring to the Ann Arbor Farmers' Market each week" says Molly Notarianni, manager of the Ann Arbor Farmers' Market.
