When summer returns, so do the Farmers' Markets!
Farmer's Markets are a summer favorite, and there is an abundance here in Puget Sound. Fresh local produce, locally crafted items, small-batch baked goods, and more are all to be found at your local Farmer's Market. Visiting your local markets is a great way to get out and explore your community, meet people, and be immersed in supporting local small businesses. Some of these markets even have concerts in the park following the market to allow for a continuation of enjoyment right within your community.
