You can now shop at your local farmers market and get locally grown produce and other homemade items to add to your menu this summer season.

Farmers markets provide many communities the opportunity for residents to purchase fresh produce directly from the farmer/grower that often has been grown in the local community. They are also a great local resource for others who do not have immediate access to grocery stores for those items.

Shoppers can expect to find more than tomatoes at the county farmers markets. Some of the produce sold include cucumbers, corn, potatoes, greens, and peppers, as well as homemade baked goods, and jams and jellies. Artists and businesses have also sold personal care items, handmade arts and crafts, and more.
