Oh how pleasant it is to eat fresh! The rich aroma of greens and other vegetables when absolutely fresh is amazing. And when you buy locally grown fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, chicken, ducks, etc., you know that you are getting your food directly from the source, which allows a few extra days for preparing, cooking, and snacking.
Spending the day at a local farmer’s market, or festival, you will meet some of the personalities who love growing healthy, pesticide-free produce, meats, and more. Below is a list of local growers and ranchers who frequent the Farmer’s Markets in our area, and the dates/times of these markets. Some also sell to grocery stores and small retail shops, and many provide locally sourced goods directly to area restaurants, and area consumers through CSA programs.
