Where all is Oklahoma grown, made, and sold.

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.
