Plus, many of the markets in Mahoning County also feature local art, baked goods, jewelry and more! Here’s your list of the best Mahoning County farmers markets to check out this year:
White House Fruit Farm
White House Fruit Farm almost doesn’t need an introduction. It’s open seven days a week, 9am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and 12pm to 5pm on Sunday. Apples are their signature crop, and they also grow strawberries, blueberries, peaches, nectarines, sweet corn, asparagus, tomatoes, peppers, squash, onions, cucumbers, eggplant, and pumpkins!
The deli stocks over 80 varieties of meats and cheeses, many of them made in Ohio. Their bakery serves a variety of delicious homemade breads, cookies and pies. And remember, it wouldn’t be a trip to White House without grabbing a box of their heavenly donuts!
Aside from major holidays and the first week of January, White House Fruit Farm is open year round, so any time is a good time to stop out.
Angiuli’s Farm Market
