It’s that time of year! Springtime is in full bloom across the country now and seasonal farmers markets and farm stands are popping up everywhere selling garden fresh produce. And year-round weekly street markets finally have fresh native fruits and vegetables on their tables again.
Harvests this week in many areas include fresh asparagus, baby beets, tender sugar snap peas, young pink rhubarb, wild ramps, and the zippiest early cherry belle radishes. Tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, and early sweet corn can’t be far behind!
Need to find the closest farmers market to you? Use this handy Farmers Market Locator to search the nearly 8,700 farm stands and community farmers markets that are up and running for 2024.
These vibrant community gatherings bring together local farmers, artisans, and food enthusiasts to celebrate fresh produce, homemade goods -- and most of all, the joy of connecting with neighbors we may not have seen for months.
So, grab your reusable bags and head to your nearest market—it’s time to celebrate the abundance of nature!
