Buying local produce has plenty of benefits, and supporting your neighbors is just one of them.  At times, it can be difficult to find produce and goods that are local, but during the summer, you have plenty of opportunities to buy local goods!

“If you can eat it, drink it or plant and grow it and it has a local connection” then you can find it at the Bluffton Farmers’ Market.  Arguably one of the largest farmers’ markets in the area, the Bluffton Farmers’ Market is not to be missed!  Our favorite thing to pick up there is the fresh flowers, but you can surely pick up all the produce you need to make your summer BBQ perfect.  Facebook.com

We hope to see you out and shopping local this summer!  If you miss one of these Farmers’ Markets, consider picking up your fresh produce at the Metzger’s Farm Market, located near Alvada, or one of the two Suter’s Red Barn Markets located in Findlay.  If you are looking for other activities to do this summer, see what is happening this weekend in Hancock County, take advantage of these family friendly activities to do outdoors, or complete our Hancock County Bucket List!  Don’t forget to use #VisitFindlay to chronicle all of your summer fun.
