The Bloomfield Saturday Market returns for the season this weekend. It’s the go-to spot for fresh produce, fancy cheese, homemade pies and more. But what’s the best way to navigate the market? Is it appropriate to ask vendors for recipes? Should you haggle for your tomato?

The Bloomfield Market runs every Saturday from May 6th through November 19th, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can check out this year’s vendors here.
