About Farmers Markets

Farmers markets often serve as a central meeting place where members of the community can gather to purchase healthy, locally grown produce, dairy products, and fresh meats. Residents benefit from the services of farmers markets that in turn contribute to sustainable farming practices by increasing the public's awareness of the need for continued support of organically grown products. Farmers markets also enhance economic growth while promoting social engagement.

A wide variety of food items can be found at farmers markets where vendors gather to sell their artisan baked breads and pies along with homemade jams and jellies, maple syrup, honey, gourmet chocolates and locally grown plants and flowers. During the warmer spring and summer months, many farmers market vendors sell their goods at outdoor stands and then retreat to indoor locations during the late autumn and winter months.
