Whether you’re a frequent visitor or a farmers’ market novice, it’s a place where everyone can feel welcome and excited. A lot of people are hesitant about them because they seem to be more expensive than a conventional grocery store, but in reality, a lot of times they are on par or only slightly more expensive, but the quality is so much higher. If you’re someone who needs help with creativity in the kitchen, head over to your local farmers’ market.

Seasonal

What the farmers’ market can do for you that grocery stores can’t is show you what’s actually in season right now. This means that whatever you buy will automatically taste better than the supermarket because things always taste better when they’re fresher. So even if you don’t want to step too much outside your culinary comfort zone, replace at least one of your basic veggies or fruits with one from the farmers’ market and your food will already be elevated!

New Items

A lot of the time you might see things at the farmers’ market that you don’t recognize or never even heard of. Challenge yourself to ask the farmers questions and try to get one new item every time you go to widen your palate.
