Farmers markets offer more than just fruits and vegetables under their tents. Traditionally markets provide agricultural products and seasonal produce from area farmers, but many markets have expanded offerings to include meats and dairy, prepared foods, and even provide food samples and cooking instruction. And purchasing food at a farmers markets can stretch your grocery dollars if you participate in the FoodShare match program, with some markets accepting EBT/SNAP and WIC/Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks.
