Farmers Market season is upon us, and there are countless reasons to support your local markets! Enjoying produce at its peak freshness, meeting the people who grow your food, protecting the environment, and supporting your local farmers, are just some of the many reasons to attend. Additionally, most markets include family-friendly activities, so you can bring the whole family! We've put together a list of farmers markets happening this summer in Pottawattamie County.
