The NEXTpittsburgh guide to local farmers’ markets
As the weather warms up and we emerge from our Covid caves, farmers’ markets are popping up like spring crops. Offering everything from fresh produce, baked goods and prepared foods to flowers, honey and handmade items, these al fresco fairs are great places to shop in the sunshine (or rain) while supporting local businesses. Grab shades, a reusable tote bag and an umbrella (just in case) and visit a market near you!

Squirrel Hill, Beacon/Bartlett parking lot, Sundays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 16-Nov. 21. No market on July 4.
