Farmers Market

Buy high quality foods
grown near your home at a farmers market.

Locally grown produce sold at farmers markets is fresh and in season (when food is most nutritious).

A market where local farms make fresh produce available to consumers When you shop at a market run by local farm families, you have the advantage of getting to know the people who grow what you purchase. And they can teach you a lot about the foods you eat.

Other local market options may be available to you, but you will find the farmers' market a great place to learn. Whether your interest concerns pesticide and fertilizers, what to do with an unusual melon, or a good recipe for that abundantly available (but unfamiliar) vegetable, answers straight from the farm will delight your curiosity.

Products available at farmers' markets will vary by season and locale. But you can expect to find the freshest produce (vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs) at the market. Other products like local honey, pickles, preserves, eggs, cheese, or baked goods may also be for sale.
