Seasonal Ingredients - Farmers' Markets

Grab your favorite recyclable bag and head out to your local farmers' market! If you never experience shopping at a farmer's Market, you are in for a pleasant surprise.

Take cash as most farmers take cash only.

Take some time to walk through and visit each farmer. Get to know your local farmers. Don't be afraid to spark conversation. They are proud of what they do for a living and will be happy to talk to you about their awesome harvest. This is a great time to ask the questions, "What will be in season in July?" Take notes of what may be available for harvest that you may need for your wedding menu.

Ask the big question, "Is everything locally grown and organic?"
