Now that we've told you about some dandy farmers' markets, it's time to think about the reusable bags you'll want to bring along with you to carry home all of the fantastic products and delectable treats you find there.

Winner of the Design Plus award, the Market Basket by German company Reisenthel is not only a fabulous and stylish option, it may be one of the more eco-friendly ones as well. The basket is made from recycled plastic with a durable, lightweight aluminum frame and a strong polyester cover that is tear-resistant. A small zip pocket on the inside is the perfect spot to store your keys and a pair of sunglasses, and the sturdy base will prevent it from arbitrarily tipping over. And when you're all done using it for the day, it conveniently collapses for easy storage in your trunk or backseat.

Whether you're going to the farmers' market or making a quick trip to the grocery store, the basket will give you a good reason (besides the obvious) to say no to paper or plastic bags. Reisenthel even makes a smaller version you can pick up for the kiddies to carry around for the little treasure they're sure to collect along the way!
