Although the days are longer, it is still winter. That means that the produce selection has changed and the stalls are fewer but you can still find the freshest vegetables around. Here’s something that you probably haven’t thought of. The farmers and their families are usually the ones selling the goods. You can ask them about the process of planting and growing the wonderful food that you buy there. Not to compete with them but to learn more about what goes into growing your food. Can’t do that at the big box grocery store! And you just might plant some carrots or lettuce. Who knows?
