Farmer's Market season is here.  If you're looking for some great ones to check out this summer, check out some of these ones.

There are so many benefits to shopping at a farmer's market. We love them in our family.  Here are some of the reasons:

You don't have to look for the "organic" section at a farmer's market

So many people go to the grocery store and look for the organic section to make sure they're buying the best food for their family.  When you go to a farmer's market, it's all the organic section.  These are some of the freshest foods you're going to find anywhere.  In many cases, they're straight out of the field to your table. That means it's going to normally taste better and be more nutritious.

You're supporting the local economy

When you buy directly from a farmer, the food you're buying helps them to pay their bills. That money isn't going to a big grocery store chain. It's contributing directly to the farmer who has been working in the fields. Normally, those farmers are spending their money in the community, too, so it stays in your neighborhood.

It's not always just fruits and veggies

Don't get me wrong, we love the fruits and veggies that you can get at a local farmer's market.  But it's more than just that.  In many cases, you can do all of your shopping at a farmer's market.  There are often farmers there selling meats to fill your freezer or fridge. You can get freshly made cheeses and breads.  Plus they'll often have food trucks, crafts, and other treats.
