Why shop at or start a farmers market? There are many reasons listed below.

produce available!
- It is a great way to meet other customers,
farmers and
neighbors in a friendly outdoor setting.
- Growers: It is a great outlet for your extra
produce.
- It is a great place to barter
for the
produce
or products
you need especially if you are a market vendor.
- It may help to keep money and employment in your
community.
- You can buy directly from the grower
and ask questions.
- The prices of the produce can be less expensive
because
there is no "middle person"
.
- Non-recycling, packaging materials and polluting
methods from
trucking and shipping can usually be avoided
.

and grower!
