It’s time, everyone! Spring is well under way and summer is just around the corner (or maybe it’s already here, judging by last week’s heat wave). Time to supercharge your shop local skills and hit the streets (and fields, and parking lots) for the Valley’s spring and summer farmers markets.
Here’s where, and when, to hit them up. Rip out this page, stick it to you fridge, and make farmers market visits a regular part of your week:
