Local Farmers’ Markets Spring is here and so are the Farmers’ Markets. Farmers’ Markets support small family farms by providing a viable place for them to sell their farm-fresh produce directly to the consumer and provide a festive, educational, and beneficial event. Some, if not most, also feature arts and crafts and many feature bedding plants that you can use to start your own gardens.
