This is such a great time of year when the weather is starting to warm up and plants are blooming. It’s also wonderful because local farmers’ markets are beginning to open after a cold fall and winter season. If you haven’t visited your local farmers’ market yet, I encourage you to plan a trip this weekend.

Our Nutrition Columnist Carleton Rivers has included a few tips below to help you begin growing your own produce.
