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 farmers market in Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach.
Here are four things to note before heading out to farmers markets or PYO farms in Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach:
- Pick-your-own farms can sometimes change hours on short notice dependent on weather, produce availability, and other factors. It's best to call ahead to make sure pick-your-own is available that day. Prices can also change from day to day.
- Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges!
- Bring cash as some Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach farmers market stands and pick-your-own farms don't take credit cards.
- Some farmers markets and pick-your-own farms in Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach might have rules or requests in place due to COVID and Hurricane Ian. Please check their websites or social media sites before heading out!

By this I mean, if you spend $20 on fresh produce, you get $20 in free produce! For more info on how it works, check out their FAQs page.
