Collapse ▲Farmers’ Market Tours can be a great way to introduce new customers to a great source of fresh, local food! Whether they’re part of a class or on their own, there are a lot of resources available to help you guide new consumers through a market and think about how to budget and prepare fresh food. Remember that it’s also important to form a relationship with the market manager and vendors, and to work with them to create a welcoming market environment!
