This season, we joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) so we’re getting a wonderful package of fresh vegetables every week! It’s exciting to be buying local!
Whenever we’re away, I’m never very happy with the produce at the grocery stores, so I really want to find a good outlet for fresh veggies while on vacation! So, this year we are planning on making a visit to the local Farmer’s Market(s) to buy our veggies and fruit.
I love the web site “Local Harvest” - it makes it easy to find local farmers markets where ever you might be! At home or on vacation! Just type in the zip code, and you’ll get a list of Farmer’s Markets nearby.

And it’s not just fresh veggies and fruit. Some farmers markets offer fresh eggs, dairy, honey, meat, poultry, candles, and bakery products. Check it out to find a farmer’s market near your home and near your camping destination!
