Farmer's Market Season? How to Keep Fresh Produce Safe

Panko Alerts · May 5, 2026

Seattle's farmer's markets are back in full swing this May, but those beautiful fresh greens and berries need extra care once you get them home. Rinse all produce under cold running water right before eating (even if you're peeling it), and keep it in your fridge's crisper drawer to slow down any harmful bacteria that love our mild spring weather. If you're not eating those strawberries or lettuce within 2-3 days, it's better to toss them than risk getting sick.
