This is certainly the time of year the Farmers Markets are bursting at the seam with a great variety of fresh ingredients. It’s also a fantastic place to discover new companies that are starting out and products that are growing forward but haven’t reached the big time yet. Most importantly markets vary from time, days and offer specials throughout the season. Check out www.massfarmersmarkets.org and use as a guide to discover the great benefits our state offers us. The opportunity to plan a day trip to see some new sites and catch an outdoor market or two is always fun! The neat thing about most markets you can anticipate is that an appetizer, dinner or dessert is sure to be available for you to bring home and prepare.  Early is always best to arrive, so enjoy them while you can and discover something new!
