December is a magical time at the farmers markets! With winter produce in full swing, you’ll find a bounty of seasonal favorites like citrus, hearty winter squash, fresh leafy greens, and vibrant root vegetables.
Shopping at farmers markets during the holiday season supports local farmers and small businesses. Every purchase helps sustain our local food system, keeps money within the community, and ensures access to fresh produce year-round.
