We all need the greens to be green and reds to be red. 

Organic farming is all about embracing nature, and weeding out chemicals and pesticides from the farming arena. There’s more to food that we buy than eating. It is a family affair y’all, so getting your kids involved in both buying and eating organic is actually a big deal.

Here are veggie spots you can turn into a weekend morning trip for the fam and cultivate green habits for your kids.

Al Muruj Vegetable Market

This organic market is not just a vegetable market, but also a place to find everything organic, from poultry, red meat, fruits, cooking oil, seafood to nutritious vegetables and herbs. Moreover, Saturday mornings are dedicated to selling the produce of the local farmers, like olive oil, grains, spices, honey and eggs, for killer prices. Your kids deserve to see the chicken that’s in his burger, so ensure that you show them around.
