As you all know by now WTF is not returning to the Farmers Markets this season. Although, you can still come out to the farm & buy our products. Just call/text first to make sure we are around!
Just thought I would share some shopping tips that we have learned throughout our 8 years at the markets.
1- Bring cash. Although several vendors do have the ability to swipe cards cash is always the easiest for the vendors/farmers.
2-Bring a cooler and/or shopping bags. Lots of farmers markets have more than fruits & vegetables. Many have meats, cheeses, seafood & other perishable items so bring a cooler to store those items in.
3-Say Hello to the vendor/farmer & ask questions. If you don't know what something is ask, if you don't know how to cook something ask.
4-Remember when you are at the farmers market you are shopping seasonally & locally. Most farmers markets aren't going to have oranges & bananas & there will not be watermelons in April.
5- Don't buy too much!! Sounds crazy...right? When you get to the market walk around & see what everyone has then go back & start your buying. We really don't want you to waste anything or have to throw anything away.
