Picking out Produce at the Farmers Market: Peaches, Plums, Tomatoes, Cantaloupes and Watermelons

We join Becky Ramsing, a Nutrition Health and Wellness educator for the University of Maryland Extension, at the farmers market in Columbia Maryland for the best ways to pick out fresh produce. She walks us through peaches, plums, tomatoes, cantaloupes and watermelons and shows us what we should look for.
