Farmers' Markets Finders
A great way to get excited about cooking is to visit your local farmers' market, where you'll find in-season produce and the freshest meats, breads and cheeses. You can even talk to the farmers about all the different varieties of the items they are selling and ask how they are grown or made. And it's always fun to pick out a few different kinds of fruits and veggies for a "taste test" when you get back home!
Several organizations have made it easy to find a farmers' market in your neighborhood. Learn more about using these tools!
