Macaroni Mom's Farmers Market Tips:

* Bring your own bags.  Many vendors provide bags - but re-usable is best.

* Ask questions!  There are lots of options at farmers' markets - organic, conventional, hyper-local (like us!), or from a wider regional farm.  Ask lots of questions and get what's important to you and your family.

* Bring cash.  A lot of vendors accept debit/credit cards, but not all.  Make sure you have some cash on hand (small bills are best) so that you aren't limited to which vendors you can purchase from.  I like to give my kids a few dollars to purchase (encourage) what looks yummy to them.  They are much more likely to try something if they bought it!

* Have fun!
