What should I expect when shopping at a farmers market?

  • There will be an excellent variety of fresh, delicious, healthy food.
  • You will get bargains on produce, picked during peak season.
  • The produce is typically on the vine longer and has been handled less.
  • You get to meet with and support local farmers and vendors.
  • You will find your neighbors and local business that you may not know about otherwise.
  • You help protect the environment because less fuel is needed to transport food to you, and costly, wasteful packaging is not used.
