The saying goes, “The early bird gets the worm.” Outdoor farmers’ markets in the 405 are no exception, as many market enthusiasts pride themselves in being first to purchase delicious just-picked local produce. Thankfully, there is no need to wake up too early. Most markets are open more than three hours, April through October, providing patrons ample opportunity to select the state’s freshest field-to-table products at down-to-earth prices.
Whether you visit Edmond, Oklahoma City, Moore or Norman, it’s easy to pop around the metro from one market to the next to find the perfect watermelon. Non-food items like locally grown plants, arts and crafts, leather goods and dog treats are also found at most locales. Whatever your taste, outdoor farmers markets in the 405 are a one-stop shop for local products, produce, food and entertainment — truly something for everyone.
