It’s National Farmers Market Week and there is no better way to celebrate than to visit your local farmers this weekend.
Enjoy this season’s fresh and flavorful produce and locally made products at farmers markets in your community. Many vendors offer food that is certified organic food or raised sustainably and ethnically. Shopping at a farmers market is a great way to meet the farmers who grow your food and learn about their farming practices while supporting the local economy.
