Most farmers' markets are open in the morning and afternoon, so you'll get to visit them during the workdays. The most popular place for farmers' markets to be located is on a Sunday as this is when people have the time to go and shop.
Each of these activities will be a great way for your family to spend time together and feel like you are making a difference, but it will also be great for those around you. Mix things up together and try one of these activities.
