As Delaware emerges from an unusually harsh winter and residents anticipate the arrival of summer activities, state agricultural officials are encouraging everyone to support local growers through farmers markets and roadside produce stands that will soon begin their seasonal operations.
The Delaware Department of Agriculture is highlighting the upcoming opening of numerous farmers markets and farm stands throughout the state, where visitors can purchase fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables bearing the Delaware Grown label.
State agriculture officials note that the Food Products Inspection section works year-round to guarantee that all Delaware Grown items meet strict standards for proper storage, handling, and labeling requirements.
With winter’s grip finally loosening across the First State, these seasonal agricultural venues are preparing to welcome customers seeking fresh, locally-sourced produce while supporting Delaware’s farming community.
