Farmers markets are starting a new season of providing locally sourced food options. With COVID-19 still a threat, farmers markets offer a low-risk option for shopping for healthy food, according to the CDC. Markets offer a wide variety of products, including fresh produce, baked goods, honey, eggs, meat and more.
While most markets have moved outdoors for spring, most still have COVID-19 rules in place, including capacity limits. Check the website before you go.

Goshen: 255 Main St. Orange County Government Center. Fridays, May 21-Oct. 29, senior hours 9-10 a.m., general public 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Goshen Farmers Market.
When the Monroe Farmers Market returns to Courthouse Square on May 1, it won’t just be the return of another place to buy produce, meats, baked goods and other locally made foods.
It means the return of a community gathering place, a Saturday morning routine, and the chance to meet vendors who care so much about their regular customers that they might get worried if you don’t come at the usual time.
The market has “incredibly loyal” customers, said Liz Balchin of Four Fields Farm, which sells mushrooms, meat and eggs. She is also the vice president of the market’s board.
