farmers' market

Local growers' stalls

A farmers' market is an outdoor market where local farmers and producers sell directly to consumers—fresh produce, eggs, meat, baked goods, and similar items.

The appeal lies in fresher food, supporting local agriculture, and bypassing supermarket middlemen: We get our tomatoes at the farmers' market on Saturdays.
