It's getting to be that time of year when our region starts producing fruits and veggies, and many of the local farmers' markets in the area will be opening in early May. We thought this would be a perfect time to list these bastions of fantastic local produce, and when they will be opening to the public. We have a fairly small window when our climate allows for outdoor growing, so be ready from day one, dear readers.
While we love our gourmet shops like Green Aisle Grocery and Almanac, who do their best to get us top-notch produce all year round, each of these farmers' markets bring vendors that make life easier for the home cook and locavore-obsessed.
