Visit Local Farmers' Markets
Hilda M. Morrill

According to the Mass Department of Agriculture Web site, whether you live in the city or suburbs, a Massachusetts farmers' market is not too far from you. From spring until late fall, you can find local growers with their canopies and colorful displays of freshly-harvested fruits and vegetables in town squares, parks, and other public spaces.

At many farmers' markets you will also find an array of other farm products, including baked goods, jams and jellies, maple products, honey, farmstead cheeses, flowers, turkey products and eggs. The festive atmosphere and fresh foods will certainly please all your senses.
