Eat your lettuce. Just get it at the farmers market.
“Consumers aren’t sure what’s right anymore so, out of an abundance of caution, they’re just passing on everything."
Some lettuce growers are destroying their lettuce crops—even when they aren’t connected with an outbreak of illness while consumers head to local farmers markets to find locally grown options. FreshFarm, which runs dozens of farmers markets in the Washington, D.C., area, has seen a 30% increase in foot traffic since early July.

For years I went to the Dupont @FRESHFARMDC & just got flowers because I didn't really start cooking at home until the pandemic. Fun to see these farmers' market trends (especially the almond croissant popularity in SF!) #NationalFarmersMarketWeek

Thanks, @AnnaSpiegs, for talking with FRESHFARM executive director about the latest foodborne illness outbreak and why farmers markets remain safe places to shop for produce. A shorter supply chain = Safer food.
People are freaking out online amid the growing cyclosporiasis outbreak. But at D.C. restaurants and farmers' markets, it's largely business as usual.
Here's what chefs and farmers are doing — and why they're not panicking (yet).
