Getting your produce from the farmers market is still worth it because of the health benefits and hospitality, even amid inflation, according to experts.
The health benefits of fresh produce
"The wonderful thing about the food that you get from the farmers market is that they don't need to put toxins or waxes on the food for it to stay fresh during travel," she says. You can also use the word-of-mouth method, Hart says:"Ask around. Talk to farmers in the area.
