Tips
Here are some tips for visiting the Gastonia Farmers Market, focusing on fruits and veggies:
1. **Timing**: Arrive early for the best selection of fresh produce, as popular items can sell out quickly.
2. **Seasonal Choices**: Check what’s in season to find the freshest fruits and vegetables. Local farmers often offer the best produce available during each season.
3. **Bring Cash**: While some vendors may accept cards, bringing cash can simplify transactions and ensure you can purchase from all vendors.
4. **Ask Questions**: Don’t hesitate to talk to the growers. They can provide information on how to store and prepare their produce, as well as tips on sustainability.
5. **Sample**: Take advantage of any free samples to discover new flavors or products you might like.
6. **Reusables**: Bring your own bags or baskets to reduce waste and carry your purchases comfortably.
Enjoy your visit and support local farmers!
