There are a lot of
farmers’ markets around Maryland that give families a chance to buy fresh,
delicious produce from local farms. You may have heard that farmers’ markets
are too expensive to shop at, but you can actually find lots of things that are
the same price or even cheaper than at the grocery store. Some markets even
accept food benefits like SNAP and WIC!
Seasonal fruits and
vegetables are at their most nutritious and tasty when they have been picked
fresh from a nearby farm. Summer seasonal produce includes nectarines, peaches,
broccoli, okra and corn. Checking out the different fruits and vegetables for
sale at a farmers’ market can be a good way to try something brand new. Ask the
farmers if they give tours of their farms, kids will have a fun time learning
more about how their food is made, and it might even encourage them to eat some
extra veggies!
