Tips for a better farmers market haul
Start early or go late. The early birds get their choice of the worms (also, lots of places will run out of their best sellers!), but the late birds can bite into some good deals as vendors are packing up.
Stroll around. Look at the options and the prices. You don’t want to realize you paid twice as much for tomatoes that aren’t as good as the tomatoes you see at the end.
Bring cash. Most vendors take credit cards or phone app payments these days, but cash is always appreciated.
Bring bags. Showing off fancy tote bags at farmers markets is exactly why you hang on to them, so don’t forget to pack them in the car the night before. Also make sure to bring coolers and ice for the car.
Don’t be shy. Ask the vendors for tips. They probably have great recipes, they can point you to the choice crops, and they can let you know the peak times to come back for your favorite stuff.
