Gosh, there’s nothing better than getting up early on a Saturday (wow, never thought I’d say that), grabbing a tote bag, and heading to the farmers market for some fresh produce. The freshest, actually. You’re supporting local farms and growers, plus you’re making your food extra delicious. That’s a win-win. Luckily farmers markets can still happen during the COVID-19 pandemic, so as long as you wear a mask, social distance, and take extra precautions, you can enjoy farm fresh veggies, local meats, baked goods, coffee, and tons more all summer long.
