Cherishing Life: Cultivators Eat Plants
Dear Cultivator,
Thank you for eating food made from plants. The Earth would also like to thank you for being more moderate in your demands, the animals thank you for being compassionate and sparing their lives, and your body thanks you for filling it with plants that are higher in vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients that promote optimum health and wellbeing. You are truly cherishing life!
With sincere appreciation,
All Living Beings

Farmer's Markets
The Ecology Center has operated certified farmers' markets in Berkeley since 1987. Farmers' markets are festive, family-friendly, open-air marketplaces where California farmers bring fresh, locally-grown fruits, nuts, vegetables, and farm-processed foods to sell directly to consumers. Ecology Center Farmers' Markets are committed to supporting small-scale farmers who practice sustainable agriculture. At the markets, you’ll find fresh baked goods, jams and preserves, juices, olive oils, prepared foods, nursery plants, and flowers. Often musicians entertain the shoppers, and special cultural and educational events are scheduled regularly throughout the year.
