Some of these, such as the Trenton Farmer's Market, have rules about only selling what you grow- but there's no guarantee for the rest. There are lots of "farmer's markets" and roadside stands where, if you look carefully, you can see the folks unloading fruit and veggies out of the same boxes they get at Shop-Rite! Be careful. Don't be afraid to ask where the produce is grown. If you want Jersey Fresh, speak up!
Buy local!

Tomorrow morning is the organic farmer's market in Minneapolis, next to the Guthrie Theater. Mrs DBK and I go there most weeks just to look around, since the local farms haven't really started producing much yet except for rhubarb and some berries. But the guy with the bratwurst stand and grill has the tastiest brats in town.
Mmmm... Bratwurst....
I recently visited the farmer's market in Liberty Village Premium Outlets. I planned a trip to the outlets for a day of outlet shopping to find great deals and was pleasantly surprised when I came across the farmer's market smack in the middle of the center!. I spent time looking through a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, herbs and fresh baked goods and purchased some very yummy things! I really encourage everyone to visit Liberty Village Premium Outlet's for not only the fabulous shopping deals but the great farmer's market that you can't miss!
