Farmers' Market makes it easy to find local food

By Florence Lau | April 28, 2012

If you're looking for a healthier way of living,  be sure to check out the 34th annual Baltimore Farmers' Market and Bazaar, open from April 1 to December 23.
Although it first opened at Market Place and then relocated to Pratt & President Streets, it is now conveniently located underneath the Jones Falls Expressway, and Hopkins students can get there simply by taking the #11 MTA bus from the stop outside Mattin Center,  getting off at Saratoga and walking east two blocks.
Every year, this market offers produce, meats, herbs, flowers, crafts and more all at economical prices.
There will be a large quantity of crisp fruits and vegetables, poultry, baked goods, herbs and dary and nuts as far as the eye can see.
In addition, they offer cultural cuisine like pit beef sandwiches, pastries and gourmet treats.
Not only does going to the Farmers' Market mean eating healthier, but it also means supporting your top local farmers, as they will be providiing organically raised and produced products: Cheese, milk, yogurt, beef, pork and more.
Finally, the market will offer a large selection of fresh fish and seafoods for perusal. Vegan items are also sold for those who wish to avoid meat products.
Just because this is a Farmers' Market, though, doesn't mean that all they offer is food.
There is an offering of unique crafts and collectibles for you to decorate your dorm or apartment with, or just to use, in the case of jewelry, handbags and hair accessories.
Be sure to get there early, as on peak Sundays, more than 8,000 people may attend the Baltimore Farmers' Market.
