Farmers Markets

 

Farmers are a great place to find fresh local produce and literally get a taste of the region.  The variety of goods sold at farmers markets varies greatly. In addition to fruits and vegetables, you may find things such as baked goods, meats and seafood, honey, soaps, plants, flowers, and arts and crafts. Some markets also have food vendors and entertainment.
