Farmers' markets are
markets, usually held out-of-doors, in public spaces, where
farmers can sell their produce to the public. Products at farmers' markets are renowned for being
locally-grown and very fresh. Proponents of farmers' markets reason that since locally-grown produce does not travel as far to get to your table, the difference in mileage saves fossil fuels, allows farmers to pick produce at the peak of flavor, and preserves the nutritional content of fresh produce.
