Few things beat a sunny afternoon spent strolling around a farmers’ market. You get to do your shopping outside, find produce more fresh than can be found at most grocery stores, and support local farmers and businesses.
Buying food seasonally and locally is more environmentally friendly, plus meals made with garden-fresh ingredients always taste the best!
