Why shop at a Farmers Market?

Fruits and vegetables are widely available in farmers’ markets during the peak of the growing season. This shows that the produce is at its freshest and most delicious. Food is usually grown near home, rather than thousands of miles away or in another country. Shopping at farmers’ markets supports local farmers while also making a profit you spend on food closer to your neighborhood. A registered dietitian talks with farmers and customers at a farmers’ market in a video created by Nutrition.gov to highlight the benefits of buying at farmers’ markets. Here’s a sneak peek at our Top Reasons to shop at Farmers Markets to help you identify local markets and maximize your market experience:
