Ah – a true sign of the season in Pittsburgh is the return of the city's Farmers Markets.
Spring through fall, Pittsburgh is fortunate enough to have Farmers Markets all over the city, every day of the week. Below we have rounded up a day-by-day guide to these markets. Enjoy!
Back again this year, local non-profit Just Harvest has a Fresh Access program at 21 different farmers markets around the city, where they offer a token exchange that allows shoppers to use credit, debit and food stamp cards at the farmers market. For those who have food stamps or SNAP assistance, Just Harvest offers an extra $2 to spend on fruits and vegetables for every $5 they spend at the farmers market.
Know of any farmers markets that we missed? Share with us in our comments, and we'll update the post!
