Hey all.. it's almost that season. I was wondering what your favorite Farmers Market is. I live in Carnegie but am def. willing to travel if needed.

Thanks!

Trax Farms in Finleyville. I love their corn on the cob, it's so freaking delicious.

Both Trax and Simmons farms are very popular near you - I'd recommend both. Simmons is a little bit less commercial feelings, but both have great produce.

When I lived in Highland Park there was one in the Zoo Parking Lot - Not sure what day of the week, but it was a decent one. I'm quite sure there are others but that's the only City one I knew of.

There is a big on out on route 50 before Cecil. I think Friday is their big day, but it is open MWF from what I remember.

They moved it to the Immaculate Conception Parking lot in Bloomfield. Think it's still the same day but now sure why it was moved.

The most convenient for me is the flea market in Aspinwall on Sundays. Jospeh P King Farm is always there.

For actual farmers markets, I tried to go the one at the zoo, but traffic was a zoo. So I left.

I prefer to go to the actual farms about once a month.

That map isn't all inclusive. The one in Etna is missing.

And if they're going to include Wildwood, they should include Aspinwall too.

Local farmers markets

A great article on the PG website that lists pretty much everyplace you could think of and a few I've never heard of before. Great resource.
