Finding the Freshest at your local farmer’s market 

Finding the Freshest at your local farmer’s market 

By Linda Barrett 

There’s a big difference between a homegrown tomato and a tomato from the local supermarket. If you like to garden, you already know what we’re talking about. For those without green thumbs or those who do not have the right space for growing zucchini, shopping from a local farmers market is the next best thing to growing veggies yourself.

Shop local and support your community and your farmers, while ensuring your money goes back into local agriculture. With many markets offering live music and activities for kids, a day away at the farmers market is a great place to take the family for a fun-filled Saturday morning. If you’re not sure where to start, here is a round-up of local markets.
