Episode 24: How to shop farmers’ markets to enhance home cooking!

Strawberries! Rhubarb! Peas! Cherries! Turnips! Artichokes! Melons! OH MY!!

Prime farmers market season has arrived! All over the country, local markets are opening up as we march into spring and summer, creating an opportunity for us to connect with and learn from the folks who grow our food. This week we’re sharing our tips on how we approach our weekly farmers market ritual. Where do we park, do we make lists, what do we buy? And, how do we store all the produce that we bring home? 

We’ll answer these questions and many more! Get your tote bag ready!
