WESTFIELD — Visiting the Westfield Farmers Market is a good reminder that summer is the time to add locally grown fresh vegetables and fruit to one’s diet.
On July 25, volunteer greeters Dan Bak and Irene Ring met visitors upon entering to answer questions on what’s available and offer stickers to little ones. At the UMass Extension Nutrition Education booth, Julia Thomas gave out free samples of fresh salsa, a recipe on how to make it, and a guide to buying fresh fruits and vegetables.
