Longer days mean riper fruit and vegetables. That means more selection at the farmers market. That means more chances for you to get the best possible food for you and your family. Come down to the market, see what’s new, see who is out and about, and enjoy the outdoors while getting one item off your “have-to-do” list. But in the best possible way. At the same time you might get lunch or a locally made, special gift for someone. Should this time,day, or place not work for you check out http://www.montereycfb.com because many more are listed there.
