Find Your Local Growers!

Looking for yummy, locally- grown produce?  Want some intersting, artisitc gifts?  Check out your local farmers markets.  They are still running, most of the time, and will continue through September or October.  After that, you may have trouble trakcing them down.  This is why, when you're there, get their names and phone numbers, addresses, etc. so you can contact them directly after the season of warm weather runs out.

Don't know how to find a farmer's market near you?  Go to farmersmarket.org for a listing.  It's a great site that allows you to search by state and city.  No excuse not to support your local growers now!

There is nothing better than fresh, local produce when you are grilling out or snacking in the park, so spend an hour or so on Saturday or Sunday at see what they've got near you!
