Benefits of shopping at a farmer’s market
Produce is seasonal: One of the primary reasons for buying in a farmers’ market because you already know you're getting fresh fruits and vegetables each market day. It also helps in decision-making for your weekly meals when visiting each stall in the farmers market. Anything out of season will not be available fresh from a farmers' market although you might find dried, canned, or prepared versions. True farmers' markets require fresh, in-season items.
Products are ripe and nutritious: Shopping from a farmers’ market is advantageous compared to shopping at a store because a farmer’s produce is fresh, ripe, and beautiful which will make your food delicious. Since their products are seasonal, a farmer knows what is nutritious by looking at it in their farms which will also make their spinach, cucumber, cheese, yams, watermelons, apples, etc. fresh and nutritious.
It's inexpensive: The farmers’ market products offer affordable, seasonal produce. When you consume fresh vegetables and fruits every day, it adds a lot of benefits to your health and saves hospital bills.
Farmers markets sell different vegetables and fruits: A farmers' market is always full of varieties of local fruits and vegetables—not only the popular ones. You can always ask the farmer about a fruit or vegetable unfamiliar to you. Most vendors offer recipes or instructions for exotic produce.
It improves the local farmers' economy: When you buy anything from a farmers’ market, it helps the family business, which allows them to continue producing fresh food for your table. It also helps in the local economy because the vendors spend what they make from their products in local shops.
To find a farmers’ market near you, ask a neighbor, at the library, or search online. Your nearby property professional is an excellent resource for local markets too, so be sure to reach out.
