Farmers markets are getting into full swing now that the growing season has started throughout the country.
I love wandering around my local farmers market on Saturday mornings. Even though I get most of my vegetables from my farm share, there’s just something special about the weekly community gathering at the town common.
Buying directly from local growers is a great way to get the freshest possible food. I like to eat seasonally as much as I can, and visiting the farmers market regularly helps keep me attuned to what’s in season.
You can also save money on produce when crops are in abundance, so you can get some good deals at the farmers market. Visit my tips about shopping at the farmers market for more ideas about how to make the most of your market.

What a great collection! I’m lucky that I live in a place where Farmer’s Markets are year-round and pretty much every day of the week (I think Mondays are lacking). I love cooking with fresh fruits and veggies! Thanks so much for including my Farmer’s Market Salad as well! Happy eating!
I love shopping at farmers markets and getting inspired by what they have! These recipes look fabulous!
Annemarie,
What a great round up! I just hit the farmer’s market today for, of all things, spices and a gizmo to turn a canning jar into a soap dispenser. I’d had a metal one for about a year but really didn’t care for it, and a shop at the market sells a plastic one so I made the switch.
Strange thing to buy, but bought local. Off to play with my chive blossoms!
Thanks!
I get most of my veggies at my CSA, but I supplement at the farmer’s market. We always seem to go through everything! I am so happy that summer is here and can’t wait to try some of these recipes! Thanks for including a couple of mine!
What a great post. I look forward to trying the homemade pickles (I’ve never made pickles and I’m hoping for a bumper crop of cucumbers).
