A farmers market is a public marketplace where local farmers and producers sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and other goods directly to consumers. These markets often feature seasonal produce, homemade products, and artisanal items, promoting local agriculture and sustainable practices. Farmers markets typically operate on specific days of the week and can be found in urban and rural areas. They provide a space for community interaction and support local economies by connecting consumers with the people who grow their food. Many markets also offer educational programs and activities related to nutrition and cooking.
