Fruits and vegetables grow in different climates and
at different times of the year depending on what
temperature they need to grow. The farmers sell fruits
and vegetables that are in season around here. This
means you won’t find any tropical fruit like bananas,
oranges, lemons, or limes when you visit the farmers’
market, but you do get to buy the freshest fruit and
vegetables that our region has to offer!
WHAT YOU’LL FIND
Did you know that most farmers’ markets in the
city accept federal benefits? You can spend food
stamps (SNAP), WIC, and Senior checks with farmers
throughout the city. Find the information table when
you go to any farmers’ market in the city and they will
be happy to point you in the right direction. Many
markets also offer free Produce Plus dollars and bonus
dollars when you spend your federal benefits on fresh
fruits and vegetables!
