âTis the season for fresh blueberries, carrots, and summer raspberries. These and other fresh fruits and veggies will not only be available in grocery storesâ produce aisles this season, but theyâll also make their way onto city sidewalks, as theyâre sold during local farmers markets. This hour, weâll talk about growing, selling, and buying locally with various farmerâs markets this season, and how eating healthy and local can prove beneficial to yourself, small farmers, and also the community. Farmerâs markets have always been a great place to purchase high-quality, local produce. In Ohio, the number of farmerâs markets have increased by 66 percent in the last five years. Visit Columbus Public Health to check out more information on CPH-sponsored farmer's markets.
