Kentucky Farmers' Markets Week is a time to celebrate the fresh, local foods that are grown and produced in Kentucky. This year's event will be held from August 6-12, and there will be farmers' markets all over the state.
Farmers' markets are a great way to support local agriculture and to get your hands on some of the freshest, most delicious foods around. You can find everything from fruits and vegetables to meats, cheeses, and baked goods at farmers' markets. And you can be sure that the food you buy at a farmers' market is fresh, because it was picked or processed just a few days ago.
In addition to providing fresh food, farmers' markets also offer a unique opportunity to connect with the farmers who grow their food. You can ask them about their farming practices, and you can learn about the different varieties of produce that are grown in Kentucky.
So, if you're looking for a delicious and healthy way to support local agriculture, be sure to visit a farmers' market during Kentucky Farmers' Markets Week. You won't be disappointed!
Here are some of the benefits of shopping at farmers' markets:
You get to support local farmers and businesses.
You get to buy fresh, seasonal produce.
You can learn about where your food comes from.
You can meet other people who care about food.
