  Farmers' market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farmers' markets often feature produce that is grown naturally or organically, meats that are raised humanely on pasture, handmade farmstead cheeses, eggs and poultry from free-range fowl, as well as heirloom produce and heritage breeds of meat and fowl.
In the U.S. and Canada, farmers' markets have taken off in popularity due in part to the increased interest in healthier foods and lifestyles and an increased understanding of the importance of maintaining small, sustainable farms on the fringe of urban environments.
Farmers' markets also may supply buyers from produce stands, restaurants, and garden stores with fresh fruits and vegetables, plants, seedlings and nursery stock, honey, and other agricultural products.
