Farmers' market season is finally upon us! We live in one of the best regions of the United States for fresh produce, but our state is also filled with a high number of talented artisans producing cured meat, freshly baked breads, crafts and more for our enjoyment. There's nothing we love more than perusing their fantastic products at the local market, because somehow, locally made goods just taste better. Support local and hit up your local farmers' market this summer! We rounded up the best picks near Akron and Canton, and lucky for you, there are options on almost every day of the week. Pick a day that works for you, and then use the map to locate the nearest market. Happy shopping!
