June 19, 2019 | Business, Lifestyle, Uncategorized

The days of alternate sun and rain (sometimes, just minutes from one another) are a sign that spring has come and it’s time to dig in the dirt, head to a local farmer’s market, purchase daffodils and pick berries! Make the most of this time of year and take a long walk, hit the bike trails or swing a golf club.

Here’s a list of nearby farms and farmers markets to help you buy locally and support area agriculture:
