Market Shopping Tips
Go Early
Best selection is available early. Popular items sell out fast. Arrive 15-20 minutes after market opens.
Bring Cash
While many vendors accept cards, smaller farmers may only take cash. Bring enough for your shopping.
Bring Bags or Baskets
Reusable bags are better for the environment and your hands. Many markets discourage plastic bags.
Talk to the Farmers
Ask about growing methods, recipe suggestions, and what will be available next week. Farmers love sharing knowledge.
Try New Items
Farmers markets have unusual vegetables and fruits you won’t find at supermarkets. Be adventurous. Ask for recipe ideas.
