Why it matters: Run by the nonprofit Market Umbrella, these markets connect small regional farmers, fishers and food makers directly with the community and support local food access programs. Rotating through several neighborhoods and days, they are the place to buy Gulf shrimp, Creole tomatoes, local honey and hot prepared food. Check the schedule, since the day and location change through the week.
