As you know, eating and buying locally grown and produced food is becoming more and more trendy. And farmers' markets are the perfect places for farmers and producers to sell the fruits (and vegetables) of their labors. The fun thing is, as you keep coming back to your favorite markets, you'll see the variety of produce throughout the growing season--from strawberries, asparagus and spring greens in the spring to tomatoes, peppers and melons in the summer to squash, Brussels sprouts and fall greens in the autumn. Farmers' markets aren't just for farmers anymore either. You'll find painters, potters, bakers, makers of jams and jellies, seafood purveyors, chocolatiers, weavers...you name it! That's why going to a FM is such a relaxing and relatively inexpensive family outing. It's a great educational experience for kids, too. Teach them about farming, let them meet all sorts of different people and expose them to many delicious and nutritious foods.
Oh, did I mention that many FMs have cooking demos? (Nice segue, huh?) Here are the dates that I'm scheduled to appear at three different markets through September:
