With winter right around the corner, we know the end of farmers’ markets season is not far. Whether you shop at farmers’ markets for the local organic produce and homemade goods selection or to support small family-owned farmers and the sustainability for our planet, it’s time to take advantage of our local markets before they close for the winter.

A handful of markets are open throughout December, making it an ideal destination before Thanksgiving feast preparations begin.
