Rockland County officials are encouraging residents to “Eat Fresh. Shop Local.” as farmers’ markets and farm stands open across the county, offering a wide selection of fresh, locally grown produce and handmade goods throughout the summer and fall.
Shoppers can find everything from fruits and vegetables picked at their peak to local honey, eggs, flowers, baked goods, and artisan items. Several locations accept food assistance benefits including FMNP, SNAP (EBT), and FreshConnect checks.
