Farmer's Markets and pick-your-own fruit season is here!
We love supporting our local farmers and buying locally-grown produce and goods. Plus, it's fun for the whole family to visit a pick-your-own (PYO) farm or a farmers market in the Williamsport Area.
Here are four things to note before heading out to farmers markets or PYO farms in the Williamsport Area:
- Pick-your-own farms can sometimes change hours on short notice depending on weather, produce availability, and other factors. It's best to call ahead to make sure pick-your-own is available that day. Prices can also change from day to day.
- Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges!
- Bring cash as some farmer market stands, and pick-your-own farms don't take credit cards.
- Some farmer markets and pick-your-own farms in the Williamsport Area might have rules or requests in place due to COVID. Please check their websites or social media sites before heading out!
