Braving Winter at Your Local Farmers Market
February 20, 2021
Nothing can stop a determined farmer from delivering fresh produce and other goods to people who want and need it. That’s one of the reasons farmers markets have become so popular over the decades. Even during the winter months, those brave enough to face the cold, wet, and snow are treated to organic goodness and friendly producers who love to talk about what they grow and raise. We were fortunate enough to catch up with some of the farmers and customers at the Lane County Farmers Market open during the winter months. Be sure to check out some of the other markets open in your neck of the woods.
