It’s farmer’s market season, which means that it’s the easiest and most perfect time to eat local fruits and vegetables! While eating locally throughout the year is doable, a farmer’s market in the late spring to fall months allows you to be knowledge about the food you are eating since the grower is right there next to you. But do not show up in the month of June expecting to see cranberries or nectarines—they’re not in season yet!

Unlike supermarkets, not all produce will be available all the time but the short time when a specific fruit or vegetable is offered only maximizes the flavors and freshness of it.
