The Huffington Post had a nice little article with advice to help shoppers navigate farmers' markets. I think the list is really helpful, particularly for someone new to  this kind of shopping experience! 

Here are a few of the tips:

1. Arrive early.

2. Bring a large bag- most vendors provide only small plastic bags.

3. Purchase new foods- farmers' markets are wonderful places for buying  non-staple produce.

4. Ask questions!

5. Bring cash-most vendors do not accept credit/debit cards.
