Getting fresh groceries, supporting local farmers, and spending time outside is a win-win-win. Here’s where to do it.
There are many things to celebrate about spring coming back: Not having to wear eight layers every time you leave the house, being able to exercise outside again, flowers blooming, and, last but not least, the return of all your favorite farmers markets. Since there’s nothing better than biting into fresh, juicy, locally grown produce, we compiled a list of spring farmers markets starting this month.

Lakewood Farmers Market
June to September on Tuesdays
Enjoy warm weather, fresh produce, food truck treats, and wonderful memories at the Lakewood Farmers Market. According to the organizer of the Lakewood market, Sally Martinez, “Farmers markets are a way for the community to gather. It is a family affair where we can get more done as we shop, socialize, play, and eat in a beautiful setting.”
