Farmers markets are where most people go to seek out local foods. They are a great way to learn about what grows in your area and what's in season when. Weekly (or bi-weekly, or monthly) visits to a farmers market can be an easy, entertaining way to participate in your local food system and increase the amount of local foods you eat.
Here is a list of some items in season now:
Apples, Brussels sprouts, Cranberries, Leeks, Parsnips, Pears, Pumpkins, Shallots, Sweet potatoes, Turnips, Watercress, Winter squash
