Summer is wrapping up and pumpkin spice season is in full swing, which can only mean one thing: seasonal farmer’s markets are making a comeback. Get ready for fresh produce, jams, and other artisanal goods at oh-so-many locations around town.
While many of our local markets operate year-round, several pick back up in late September and early October.
