You can fulfill the instructions on this bag simply by purchasing and using it.

Plus, people won’t be able to stop buzzing about how adorable it is.
Net Shopping Bag
Don’t be fooled. Despite being the most plain-looking picks on this list, these stretchy, long-strapped carriers ($19 for 2) are the quintessential reusable produce bags. They’re machine-washable, compact and one even comes in pink—what’s not to love?
Once you buy the fruits and veggies, here’s how to use them all up.
Cactus Canvas Tote Bag
If you’re crazy about plants—both eating them and donning them—then this prickly patterned tote ($10) is the pick for you. (And try this succulent-inspired treat while you’re at it!) Thanks to the bag’s longer shape, it’s perfect for holding those lengthy farmers market finds, like baguettes, carrots, etc.
Bagette Market Tote
For something with a little more structure, try Scout’s rectangular bag ($28). The double straps and reinforced bottom make it especially useful for carrying ultra-hefty loads.

Make a statement with this green (and green-inked) bag. Made with organic cotton, this tote ($15) is the essential accessory for farmers market shopping this summer. (Click here to see what produce will be in season.) Plus, the bag’s got a point.
Paris and London Foldable Tote Bags
Attention, jet-setters. These lightweight bags ($8 for 2) fold into compact packages that look like the Eiffel Tower and an iconic red telephone box from the U.K. Simply unfold, and you’ll be instantly transported to an open-air market overseas. (Or, travel around the world with these authentic recipes.)
Sur La Table Tote Bag
Nothing says “local” and “fresh” quite like a farmers market and, well, this bag ($10). This canvas tote will easily hold your haul of seasonal produce as well as convey to others just how serious you are about your cooking chops…and whisks.
Speaking of chops, you need to learn about the four essential types of knives.
Convertible Tote Backpack
Take going green to the next level by walking or biking to the market with this bad boy ($28) on your back, then pull the straps through into the tote position and pile high with groceries. This bag’s award-winning convertible design is one of a kind.
Cultivate Kindness Canvas Tote
