Eat Local - Eat Fresh

We all know there's nothing to match that fresh-from-the-farm goodness of locally grown produce. Whether you're preparing a dish or an entire feast, you can get great ideas and fresh local ingredients all year long at our wonderful local Farmers Markets.

Spring and summer markets feature an abundance of local fruit - from berries picked that morning to peaches, apricots, apples, and more - and greens to tempt your palate. Does local asparagus make your mouth water?

Summer's abundance carries over into fall, when you'll find a constant supply of greens and vegetables from beans to turnips - and you can always ask the farmer what to do with the ones you've never seen before.

Local winter harvests feature wonderful heirloom potatoes, big bunches of braising greens, delicious varieties of apples, wild mushrooms, all kinds of winter squashes, root vegetables including beets, turnips, rutabagas, carrots, and parsnips... and so much more.

Farmers markets have more than produce - on any given Saturday you might find organic beef, free range chicken, eggs, fresh fish, fresh pasta, honey, flowers, local baked goods, locally made preserves, and more.

As the harvest varies, so does your Farmers Market - but you're sure to find something special, fresh, and local every week.
