    50 Farmer's Market Recipes

    • Share

    When you come home from the summer farmer's market, basket brimming with fresh, local, and colorful fruits and vegetables, these 50 Farmer's Market Recipes will put it all to good use! From vibrant salads, simple dinners, healthy snacks and desserts, your seasonal farmer's market haul never tasted so good!

    50 Farmer's Market Recipes including pasta, tacos and salads.

    In addition to growing your own garden, the farmer's market is the best place to shop for seasonal fruits and vegetables! You can't beat the freshness, everything is usually organic and not sprayed with pesticides, it's healthier and tastes better!

    Not to mention, the farmers at the market are some of the friendliest people around! They love to share their growing and gardening knowledge, and will often be willing to give you a deal if you want to buy something in bulk. At the end of the summer, I often buy a whole basket full and Freeze Bell Peppers for winter!

    Buy in bulk and check out these 21 Ways to Use Fresh Tomatoes or 15 Ways to Use Fresh Zucchini!

    Support your local community, enjoy a fun Saturday morning stroll, often complete with coffee and a donut! Bring the kids with a few dollars and a basket to pick out what they like!

    Come home with exactly what's in season, picked at its peak of ripeness, and brought to you from not far away (don't buy too much like I sometimes do!).

    Cook up something delicious inspired by your local farmer's market, from asparagus to tomatoes, cucumbers to berries, green beans to the fall butternut squash!

    When summer produce is at its best, check out my 31 Summer Dinner Recipes or get inspired to start your own garden, no matter how large or how small!
