Our early season offers a variety of fresh local food such as mesclun, young leafy greens, lettuce, peas, broccoli and matchstick-asparagus .  Later crops offer heirloom tomatoes, 
unique zucchini, eggplant and melons. 
Other market specialties include grass fed beef & lamb, prepared foods, eggs, honey, maple syrup,
sauces, herbs, soaps, and flowers.          

Get out of the supermarket as much as possible. 
You won't find any high-fructose corn syrup at the farmer's market.  You won't find any elaborately processed food products, any packages with long lists of unpronounceable ingredients or dubious health claims, and perhaps best of all, no foods from far away.  What you will find are fresh whole foods picked at the peak of their taste and nutritional quality--precisely the kind your great grandmother would easily have recognized as food... 
Buying as much as you can from a farmers' market ... is a simple act with profound consequences, as well for the health of the food chain you've now joined.
 

Local produce is typically picked at the right time for eating.  For those reasons it should be tastier and more nutritious.  Many, if not most, of the small farms that supply farmers' markets are organic in everything but name.  If you are concerned about chemicals in your produce, you can simply ask the farmer at the market how he or she deals with pests and fertility and begin the sort of conversation between producers and consumers that in the end is the best guarantee of quality in your food.
