OSU-OKC Wednesday Farmers' Market Open For Season

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

OSU-Oklahoma City’s Wednesday Farmers’ Market under the sponsorship of Chesapeake Energy Corporation is now open in the Glenbrook East parking lot, on N.W. 63rd Street between N. Western Avenue and N. Grand Boulevard. The market takes place every Wednesday from 2:30 to 7 p.m. throughout the growing season near Chesapeake.

“The Wednesday Farmers’ Market had a very successful opening day,” said Cheryl Camp, OSU-OKC Farmers’ Market manager. “The beautiful weather and the market’s convenient location near Chesapeake brought out an abundance of customers to shop our vendors’ 100% Oklahoma-grown products.”

This market is in addition to the Saturday market held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the OSU-OKC Horticulture Pavilion, 400 N. Portland Ave. The Wednesday Market gives shoppers a second opportunity each week to fill their fridges with the freshest food in Oklahoma. Featuring Oklahoma grown and made products from more than 30 vendors, the two OSU-OKC Farmers’ Markets allow local farmers, food producers and artisans to provide consumers with the best the state has to offer. With fresh foods, seasonal produce, certified organic products, and a variety of handmade skincare and craft items, there is something for everyone.

Vendors only accept cash or check.
