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.
