6 Strategies for Mastering the Farmers’ Market

Stick with Seasonal Picks.

Skip over things like packaged granola, crackers or mixes, as these are the items you can easily access year-round. Instead, focus on what’s fresh. In the summer, that’s berries, melons and green beans. In the fall, try squash and kiwi. During the spring months, go for greens, cherries and artichokes. These products not only pack the most nutrition, but are also at their tastiest. Check out these charts to learn which fruits and veggies are in season.
