It’s officially that time of the year when you can trade shopping at a grocery store for strolling the streets at a local farmers market.

Local farmers and business owners supply the freshest fruits and veggies, craft goods, and a variety of products like freshly baked bread, homegrown flowers, and handmade jewelry.

Now is your chance to find produce grown in your neighbor’s backyard, purchase soaps made in houses near yours, and have the chance to connect with fellow community members at a market, nearly every day of the week.

That’s right, the best part about living in a place with vast farmland and multitudes of small-business-minded and crafty entrepreneurs is the opportunity to shop small, invest in local operations, and receive quality goods from your neck of the woods.

Where will shopping take you this summer? Check out these farmers markets happening in Racine County starting Monday through Sunday.
