Shopping at farmers markets and participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs are great ways to enjoy fresh, local produce while also supporting your local farmers. Farmers markets are a great opportunity to connect with the growers and farmers, pick your colorful fruit and veggies and also get the chance to shop artisanal products.
CSA programs are a unique experience, in which you receive a share of a farm’s produce regularly throughout the season. Both options give you access to high-quality, seasonal foods, while contributing to sustainable agriculture practices. This summer, consider exploring these options for a more fresh, flavorful and fulfilling food shopping experience.
