The trend for healthy living certainly gains popularity as the temps begin to ascend; therefore, local farmer’s markets are reaping the benefits! Perusing farmers’ markets is one of the simple pleasures to enjoy this time of year. From picking out the perfect melon to taste-testing local honey, the produce-filled markets spark your culinary creativity and beckon you to take on some new tastes for your expanding palette.
The open-air concept features the fine products of area farmers, ranchers, dairies, cheesemakers and plant grower. You can find everything from artisanal bread and cheeses to flowers and fruit. It’s eye candy for sure just to pop by your favorite market and the unique finds you choose to take home are simply a HUGE added benefit.
