Your Guide to Area Farmers Markets Ready to Open Next Month

One thing that I absolutely love about this time of year is heading out to all of the Farmers Markets around the St. Cloud area.  It's great to get all of the fresh veggies, fruits, jams, sauces and more.  Some of the items are only available at area Farmers Markets which I think it great.  It's fun to get some new and unique things to add to your meals.  And bonus when they are also healthy and organic!
