How to Pick the Freshest Organic Produce at Farmers Markets This Summer

What better way to get outside, be social and explore all the good foods in season this summer than stopping by your local Farmers market!

Not only do you get to choose fresh produce from the shelves, you can chat to the vendors and ask where your food comes from, how it's grown or produced, and what goes into it.

Perusing the farmers markets isn't just about supporting local growers and producers, it's about finding highly nutritious foods - here are some tips to get the freshest seasonal produce at this weekend's markets:

• Look for produce that's vibrant and colourful. Avoid anything that looks wilted, bruised or discoloured.
• Have a sniff: freshly picked fruits and veggies - especially herbs - will have a delightfully pleasant aroma.
• Have a feel: fruit and veggies should feel firm but not hard. Leafy greens should feel plump and crisp, not limp.
• Have a chat: talk to the people behind the stall and ask what produce they recommend this week.
