Farmers' Markets - 2008


Many local farms sell their products at weekly farmers’ markets located around the North Country. At these markets, you can talk directly to the farmers about the food they grow. Ask them, What’s especially good this week? How do I choose a tasty one? What’s the best way to cook it?
