This time of year, when the weather is warmer and the days seem longer, many find themselves looking for more activities outdoors. A great way to spend a weekend morning is at your local Farmers Market.
Farmers Markets are a long time staple of local communities. Offering everything from fresh produce, eggs, baked goods, jams and pies, these markets are a great place of community and delicious specialties. Some feature local artisans and music and others offer co-ops and chances to meet the farmers. Farm to table is a popular concept and at the market you can speak with the farmer and learn more about how the product is raised.
Whether you grow your own vegetables or usually shop at a grocery store, a Farmers Market is a great way to make local connections and support area makers and producers. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nostalgic. You won’t be disappointed spending a beautiful morning outdoors and enjoying fresh, local produce for dinner.
