Thanks for the list (and map!) … so many great markets have been launched in the last 20 years. And looking at the folks behind them can be so inspiring. They’re young, hard-working and care about nutrition, health and the local economy. Anyone looking for something to be optimistic about locally should pop into any of these events on sunny weekend morning and chat up vendors and patrons alike.
