The Albert Lea farmers market will have their annual meeting at 6:30 p.m. March 25 at the Albert Lea American Legion.

The local farmers market is a non profit group that works with local producers to market their products more efficiently to provide customers with fresh and healthy products.

Producers can sell vegetables, fruits, baked goods, eggs, jams and jellies, bedding plants, flowers, local crafts, meats and pickles. According to state legislation, all items need to be produced or made by the seller unless approved by the board.
