Farmers Markets Are On The Rise
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that farmers markets are up this summer by 17%. The locavore trend has spread across the nation and people are looking for more fresh food and produce which is a major factor in why more farmers markets are popping up.
7,125 farmers markets opened up this summer; compared to 6,132 last year in 2010. The biggest growth came from states where there wasn’t much interest in it, such as Texas, which saw a 46% increase in these markets.
