Welcome to the summer issue of IN Plum magazine .
Summer is around the corner and with it comes outdoor grilling and dinner on the patio . It also means outdoor shopping at your neighborhood farmers market .
This season , be sure to support your local farmers and take advantage of summer ’ s vibrant organic bounty . Each week , outdoor markets offer the freshest fruits and vegetables along with a variety of homemade products . Check out our list of local farmers markets and farms — why not make it a fun family outing and pick your own strawberries !
Summer is also a time for picnics in the park , community days , festivals , art shows , fairs , movies in the park , summer concert series and more ! It ’ s one of the best times of the year for friends and neighbors to come together and enjoy the amazing communities in which we live . You can fill your calendar with family fun at little cost all summer long with our 2016
