Great ways to use farmers market finds

Rachel Weems

Just as the world around us has finally thawed out and regained its lively glow of green, so have the harvest hued tables at the local farmers market!  From the first breath of spring to crisp autumn nights, farmers markets everywhere are a buzz, serving up fresh, locally grown produce, along with some scrumptious baked goods, one-of-a-kind handcrafts and so much more.  If you haven’t taken a stroll through a farmers market in your community yet this season, allow this crop of seasonal recipes created with fresh finds from the market to convince you!
