Regional farmers markets got underway over the weekend, as Moscow’s longtime downtown event returned with its usual wide range of vendors.
Farmers markets help local growers, crafters, bakers, beekeepers and beyond connect with customers seeking fresh foods and handmade items every spring through fall at locations throughout the area.
Musical entertainment, kids’ activities and informational booths staffed by community organizations frequently round out the offerings.
Most vendors accept debit and credit cards, as well as cash, and many farmers markets accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and other public benefit payments.
