It's time to grab your reusable tote bags and head over to the local farmers market! The Bloomfield Saturday Market opens this weekend — it's a go-to spot for fresh seasonal produce, artisanal cheese, and delicious baked goods. But farmers markets offer more than just goodies. They're also gathering places where you can connect with vendors to get the most out of your shopping experience. To kick off the season, we're bringing back a conversation with Christina Howell, executive director of the Bloomfield Development Corporation and former market manager. Host Megan Harris asks all your burning etiquette questions, like if it's appropriate to haggle for a tomato or ask vendors for recipes.

The Bloomfield Saturday Market runs weekly May 3 through November 22, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Find the full list of vendors at Bloomfield, and check out the city's website for more markets around Pittsburgh.
