Still the Season For Farmers Markets and Pick-Your-Own's
Several farmers markets and pick-your-owns near Oak Creek are still up-and-running.
With only a month left of summer, you may be regretting that you still haven’t made it to one of Oak Creek’s nearby farmers markets or pick-your-own farms. Don’t worry, you can still get in a few trips for fresh-from-the-farm veggies or pick-your-own fresh fruits before we say farewell to warm weather and sunshine.
Some of these farmers markets and pick-your-own farms are open through the end of fall or even year-round, so there is plenty of time for fresh fruits and vegetables.
