Shortt's Farm & Durham Farmers' Market

Grab your tote bags and let’s head to the farmers’ market! This week on Seasoned, we bring you a preview of the 2021 farmers’ market season. Lori Cochran-Dougall offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Westport Farmers' Market, and we stroll through the Durham Farmers' Market as their season kicks off. We talk to market masters, local farmers and artisans, and the commissioner of our state’s Department of Agriculture, so you know what to expect this year—and what to look forward to.
