Tips For Shopping at a Farmer's Market

Buy in-season produce

Fruits and vegetables in season are often of higher quality and less expensive. Ask a farmer to learn more about the in-season produce, or check out the Arizona Harvest Calendar link below.

Try something new

Try new fruits and vegetables. Ask farmers how to prepare them. Keep in mind that the produce in farmer's markets may not look as perfect as the ones in supermarkets. Don't be afraid to give them a try. Odd varieties and imperfect produce are often cheaper while still tasting delicious. 

Bring your own bags

Cut down on waste. Bring your own shopping bags to carry purchases. A cooler is also useful if you plan to eat lunch or hang out at the market.

Be sun safe

Wear sunscreen and stay hydrated by bringing your own water bottle, especially in the summer.

Bring small bills if paying with cash 

Most markets accept credit cards, but small bills save you time. Since there are no processing fees, more money goes to the farmer.
