Viewfinder: Local Farmers Markets Open to Fresh Season
Area farmers markets opened over the last week for the summer 2011 season.
Ah, the farmers market.
Something about visiting one makes the summer even sweeter, as we appreciate the wholesome, fresh fruits and vegetables that are being grown right here in our own community.
The Aquidnecks Growers Market opened for the season on Wednesday, June 8, while the Aquidneck Grange Market welcomed visitors on Thursday, June 9. Patch recently stopped by both to catch up as the vendors get going for 2011.
