Got a sudden jones for Bing cherries or local peaches? The Sacramento Bee Web site has a great new interactive guide to area farmer's markets. It lists markets by day of the week, with maps, hours, and months of the year that they're open (for instance, the Cesar Chavez market just opened earlier this month for the season). You can also find an excellent list of what's in season, with example prices from a local market. Each week in the paper and online, they'll list a sample market with parking info., details on types of vendors, and other useful information. Another link gives you a list of produce that's waning, so you can get it now before it's done for the year. And there are even links to recipes so you know what to do when you get home with more produce than you can possibly eat before the next market beckons you.
