Fresh, organic and appetizing. Farmers markets provide it all -- flowers, fruit and veggies -- and all close to home. The markets give local growers the chance to show off their stuff, while giving locals and neighbors the chance to socialize in the fresh air not found in supermarkets. Here's the chance to browse the homegrown produce lining the aisles of your own local farmers market.
