10 Reasons to Shop Orange County’s Farmers’ Markets

2. Discover New Foods: You’ll find plenty of the standard fare but you’ll also find items you may not have enjoyed yet.
3. Enjoy the Entertainment: Some farmers markets offer more than shopping. You may find anything from live music and dancing to activities for kids, like stories, crafts, or visiting animals.
4. Taster Real Flavors: The fruits and vegetables you buy at the farmers market are the freshest and tastiest available. No long-distance shipping, no gassing to simulate the ripening process, no sitting for weeks in storage.

6. Connect with Your Community: Shoppers get to know the people who are growing/producing their food and other patrons at the markets.

9. Learn Cooking Tips, Recipes, and Meal Ideas: Farmers, ranchers, and artisans are often passionate cooks with plenty of free advice about how to cook the foods they are selling.
