   A big part of eating paleo is eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
   
   Going to your local farmer’s market will ensure you have access to the best local produce and that you are not paying marked up prices in a grocery store.
   
   You may make it a regular habit to go to the farmer’s market once a week and stock up on fresh fruits and veggies.When you shop at the farmer’s market, make sure you walk around and look at the produce at different sellers closely.
