It's farmers market and pick-your-own time in Bell County!
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 farmer's market in town.
Here are some things to note before heading out to farmer's markets or PYO farms:
- Pick-your-own farms can sometimes change hours on short notice dependent on weather, produce availability, and other factors. Prices can also change from day to day. I'll do my best to share any changes I find, but make sure to check social media before heading out.
- Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges!
- Bring cash as some Bell County farmer's market stands and pick-your-own farms don't take credit cards.
