Farmer's Markets in Pittsburgh
A great way to get fresh produce in the Pittsburgh area is at a farmer's market. Local farms in the greater Pittsburgh area bring produce straight from the farms and right to the consumers. Local farms include, Kretschmann Farm, Jamison Farm and Frankferd Farms. These farms are located just thirty minutes outside of Pittsburgh. Farmer's Markets provide a great opportunity to support local farms. Farmer's Markets can be found through out the city at different times and locations.  One of the first Farmer's markets in the Pittsburgh area, as pictured above, has been around since 1940.
