Knox Area Farmer's Markets
Spring is just around the corner, and there's no lovelier time to shop for fresh produce at our many farmers markets.
Who knew we had so many Farmers Markets in our area? Farmers Markets have so many advantages, and well, they are just so fun to shop at. You are not only supporting local farmers and the local economy, but you get to meet a lot of really nice "neighbors." The produce is freshly picked and at its peak in flavor and nutrition and can often be cheaper. Plus, it's not always just about the produce, you can usually find baked good, crafts, flowers, and many other things.
We wanted to highlight a few local Farmer's Markets and give you a list so you can find one in your area.
