How to Find a Farmers’ Market Near You

October 11, 2013 12:00 pm

Shopping at farmers' markets is a great way to pick up seasonal, locally-grown fruits and vegetables. Often times, this produce costs less than what you'd find in grocery stores. The USDA has created a great search engine to help you find local markets in your area. The website allows you to search based on zip code, produce available, and payment accepted. If you're the owner of a farmers' market, you can sign up to be a part of the USDA National Farmers Market Directory. Next time you're looking for local produce, check out the website
