Celebrate National Farmers Market Week (August 3–9) by visiting your local farmers market and enjoying the best of the season from farms across New York and Connecticut!
Here are a few quick tips to enjoy your market finds even longer:
🥬 Store leafy greens in your refrigerator's high-humidity crisper drawer.
🍓 Keep berries dry and refrigerate them in a single layer when possible.
🍅 Leave tomatoes at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to extend freshness.
🥕 Remove leafy tops from root vegetables before storing.
🌿 Keep fresh herbs in a glass of water or wrapped in a damp paper towel.
Pro tip: Keep ethylene-producing fruits like apples, pears, avocados, and tomatoes away from leafy greens to help reduce spoilage and keep your produce fresher.
