I always marvel at the beauty and variety of the fresh fruits and vegetables available at the many fresh air markets I've visited in the U.S. and around the world.

This abundance is something I've learned not to take for granted, so I've been making a point of going to open-air markets more and more (both at home and when I'm traveling).

It's a wonderful way to support local farmers, cultivate healthy eating habits, and make an otherwise mundane activity (food shopping) an experience to savor!

Do you have a favorite market near you? What do you enjoy most about the experience? Please share your thoughts about it in the comments section!
