farmer's market
Local produce stands
A farmer's market is an outdoor market where local farmers and producers sell directly to consumers—fresh produce, baked goods, honey, flowers, eggs, meat.
The appeal is fresher food, supporting local agriculture, and avoiding the middleman: I picked up some tomatoes at the farmer's market.
Most operate weekly during growing season.
