Tips for Shopping at Farmers Markets
- Bring Reusable Bags: Help reduce waste by bringing your own bags.
- Arrive Early or Late: Early arrivals get the best selection, while latecomers might find deals as vendors are keen to sell the remaining produce.
- Talk to the Vendors: Don’t hesitate to ask questions about the products. Vendors are often happy to share their knowledge and give tips on how to best use their products.
- Try Something New: Use the opportunity to try new and unfamiliar produce or products. Vendors often offer samples.
By shopping at local farmer's markets, you get access to fresh, high-quality food and contribute to your local community. So, make it a point to visit your local farmers market and enjoy all the benefits it has to offer!
