Farmers' Markets

Farmers' Markets can be a great place to find ultra-fresh produce from local farms. They are often run weekly in municipal parking lots or town greens, or daily in urban areas. Because produce does not need to be shipped long distances or stored in sub-optimal conditions, farmers can offer delicious and unusual fruit and vegetable varieties which are not practical for large agribusiness.









Farmers' Markets also help protect the environment by supporting small farmers, who often employ organic methods and a high level of biodiversity in their crops. While these farmers may not offer produce with an official organic seal because of the cost to obtain certification, the personal care invested in their crops shows through in the quality of their offerings.
