F.Our Pittsburgh-operated Farmers’ Markets will open for the season starting the week of May 10th. Farm-fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, and baked goods are sold in all markets, and flowers, small gifts, and groceries are also sold in several locations. All markets accept grocery stamps (SNAP), credit and debit cards as part of Just Harvest’s Fresh Access program.

A fifth market location – on Mellon Square in downtown Pittsburgh – has been postponed until further notice.
Buyers must wear a mask, maintain social distance, and pay with a credit / debit card or the exact amount of money.
“This year, too, the procedures will directly address ways of minimizing the spread of coronavirus. We recommend people at risk to visit the markets during the first hour of operation, when the crowd tends to be lower,” said Brian Katzen, City Manager of Pittsburgh Office of Special Events. “For a second year our policy will be no lingering, no sampling, no pets on site. In addition, no food is prepared on site, although it is prepackaged to be enjoyed elsewhere. “
