Farmer’s Market Season Has Begun

June 8, 2009 · Filed Under Local

It’s one of my favorite times of the year, Farmer’s Markets are either starting up again or beginning to carry more and more fresh produce.  It’s wonderful that we can finally begin to buy fresh local produce that is much better than horrible produce you find in grocery stores over the winter or canned/jarred preserved items.  When I visit the farmer’s market, I’m always excited to find the latest produce that’s in season.  There is such a huge difference in the prices and quality you will find there that it will keep you coming back every week.   Also, who could forget about the great atmosphere where you get to meet the farmer’s who grew the produce.

If farmer’s markets aren’t your thing, you could always still join up to a CSA in your area.  You can have fresh produce delivered to a location near your house every week.  You get the great benefits of going to a farmer’s market without having drive the sometimes long distance to get to one.
