Putnam County: Farmers Market

Putnam County’s farm markets sell a vast array of
produce—virtually every variety of seasonal fruit and vegetable grown in the region. For those who like to do their own gathering, some markets allow you access to the fields. When fall arrives, many farm markets invite you to pick your own pumpkins.

Farm markets are gaining in popularity throughout Putnam County . Each market is particularly unique to its locale and offers a variety of home grown or produced foodstuffs. Seasonal fruits and vegetables abound but that’s not all. Markets offer plants, herbs, fresh honey and maple syrup, eggs, specialty cheeses, homemade pies, breads, cookies, candies and even soaps. Organics abound to lure the purists. From Spring’s earliest offerings through to Fall’s harvest of crisp apples and colorful squashes, there’s nothing quite like that fresh-from-the-garden (or orchard) quality that only a farmers’ markets can provide.
