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.

Buying local produce tries to eliminate that by getting farms and farm hands fair pay, sourcing it close to the consumer so transportation doesn’t create pollution, and to ultimately get you the best tasting food.

Buying local produce means a couple of things for you. First of all, it can sometimes be a little bit more expensive, which is not something everyone can afford. However, if you’re contributing to your local economy, more people benefit. Also, that means you will only get seasonal produce, which means whatever is naturally supposed to grow in that season and nothing else.

Tomatoes, for example, are not meant to grow in the winter, so you won’t be able to make a BLT all year round. However, by eating seasonal foods you can broaden your diet and learn to preserve foods.
