We’re lucky, in this part of the world, to have several tenacious farmers who produce food year-round. But as the days get cooler and some farmers markets shut down for the season, it does get harder to find the delicious greens, radishes, lettuce, squash, turnips and sweet potatoes that farmers are harvesting right now.
Thank goodness that some markets operate year-round and that others run right up to the holidays. You just have to know where to look.
Here’s a list of farmers markets that are still in operation, sorted by market day. Click on the link to find more details, including location. (A complete list of metro-area farmers markets, open and closed, can be found at our Farmers Market Guide.)
