From the Farm to the Table

For the non-green thumbs who want farm-fresh organic produce, quality meats and poultry to prepare healthy meals, the region's Farmers' Markets are the places to go. Farmers' Markets are meeting places to celebrate local and exceptional shopping experiences. These open-air markets offer a warm, inviting country atmosphere for both locals and visitors staying in the area and go far beyond just essentials like fresh vegetables and meat. You'll also find baked goods, handpicked berries, maple syrup products, woodworking, Alpaca products and homemade arts and crafts.

Tips for Shopping at Farmers' Markets

1. Get to know your seasons. Knowing what to expect and what grows in the area makes shopping more efficient.
2. Go early because the early bird does get the worm! You'll be able to get the best selections and those limited items that go quickly.
3. Bring big sturdy bags and cash with small change. Transactions with cash or exact change are much easier.
4. Be spontaneous. Sometimes it's fun to leave the shopping list at home or at least be open to trying something new.
5. Ask an expert. If you find a vegetable new to you, ask the farmer how they like to eat it. You'll get the best tips!
