Local Farmers’ Markets
Fresh produce is an important part of maintaining an anti-inflammatory diet. However, going to the grocery store often can be hazardous and stressful amid the COVID-19 outbreak, so we have decided to post a list of local farmers’ markets that are open this season and enacting social distancing safety measures to reduce your risk of contracting the virus.
Linked here is an article recently published by the Buffalo News about COVID-19 and its effect on farmers’ markets, as well as a list of markets in the area and their hours of operation, which is reposted here:
