Visit the Farmers' Market and see for yourself

Once you get to know a farmers' market, shopping and cooking with the seasons is fun and simple. Don't fret about what's in season when. Just look for the best-looking produce. If you don't know how to cook it, ask the farmer, or the person next to you in the queue. It's much more sociable than the supermarket!
