By
Real Estate Agent with Intero Real Estate Services 01168070

1.  Come prepared - bring your recyclable canvas tote, a water bottle, and some sunscreen.

2. Scope out the scene- make the rounds before making your final decision and reaching for your wallet.

3.  Sample stragically - don't need to try everything to confuse your palate, rather try what your intererested in and what you would consider buying.

4.  Talk to strangers - good opportunity to talk to vendors and ask questions like how often they spray their fruits, or great opportunity to chat with someone next to you as well.

5. Time it right - go in the morning if you want the first pickins, or midday if your lookin for a more bustling scene, or towards closing time if you want some real bargains!

Farmers Markets are awesome, one of the things I love about going to Europe is the magnificant markets of flowers, foods and goods!!!!  We need more of this localism here in the US, good post.

I just love our village farmers market here on Saturday mornings in Westhampton Beach, New York. 40 great growers, producers and farmers. And best of all... it goes late into the season this year... December 11th to conincide with our Holiday WinterFest. Visit: www.WesthamptonBeachFarmersmarket.com
