How to Shop a Farmer’s MarketFarmer’s Markets are one of the best ways to buy seasonal, local produce and they foster a sense of community that’s often missing at the supermarket. But, they can sometimes be crowded and confusing. Here are a few tips for a smooth and stress-free visit to your local farmer’s market.
