farmers' markets
Outdoor vendor stalls
Farmers' markets are outdoor gatherings where local growers sell produce, meat, eggs, and other goods directly to consumers.
The appeal lies in freshness, variety, and connection to local agriculture: We get our tomatoes at the farmers' market.
Many also feature prepared foods, crafts, and live music.
The apostrophe placement varies—farmer's market, farmers market, and farmers' market all appear.
