This Week at the Market

As the regular season nears the end of the Canton Farmers Market, be sure to stop by this Sunday to pick up some great locally sourced products. Stock up on some of your market favorites, such as: baked goods, cheeses, fresh produce and other items you've grown to love. Why buy locally grown items? They're generally fresher, tastier and more nutritious. Plus, it's good for our local economy.
