Use these tips to make the most of your market visit!

Know your Season - knowing produce seasonality will help with your realistic expectations. Talk to growers about what produce will be available in upcoming weeks. Learn what grows in our area and when on our page!

Time Your Visit - Go early for the best selection; going late can bring best deals. Generally, the best goods go first. Discounts appear just before closing but keep in mind that farmers raise this food for a living so don’t expect deep price cuts.

Bring Big Bags & Small Change - avoid using plastic bags. Instead, bring canvas or nylon bags to assure that your groceries will make it home safe. The purchases will go easier and quicker if you have exact, or close to exact, change.

Plan Meals Ahead of Time - plan the meals for the upcoming week and get exactly what and how much you need.

Be Flexible - although the meal planning will make shopping more efficient, allow a little room for exploring new things too. 

Buy in Volume – you’ll get the best prices when you buy in bulk. This can be handy for cooking in batches, canning or freezing.

Bring Wheels - if shopping in bulk regularly, consider acquiring a cart to get your shopping home in one trip. If you have a baby, strollers are great to stow your goods and bags on the handles.

Talk to Farmers – ask them how to use the produce you have seen before. For the best tips ask them how they like to eat it.
