Want to eat healthier but think produce like fruits and vegetables are just too expensive? Farmers Markets are great places for you and your family to explore.

Attending a local farmers market event in your community supports local farmers & vendors. It is also a great way for families to spend time together and teach kids about making healthier choices.

Everyone can sample fresh fruits & vegetables as well as participate in family fun activities.

Farmers markets allow consumers to have access to locally produced, healthful farm-fresh food, develop face-to-face relationships with the farmers who grow them, and the chance to keep these farms going strong.
