  Farmers' Markets:

Farmers' markets can be an excellent, seasonal source of local food. Many markets feature baked and canned goods and dairy products in addition to fresh produce. Market rules and regulations vary by market, some markets allow vendors to sell produce grown by others,  which may not be local. Check with the vendor or market manager if you are uncertain.
