Area farmers markets are in full, fresher-than-fresh swing these days, which means eating well at home is easier than ever. But apart from farm-raised produce and other natural treats, our area markets have plenty in the way of on-site dining, entertainment and home goods to offer.
Heres a list of a few local farmers markets in Fairfield and Westchester Counties that make my short list of the best of the best.
