Summer farmers markets going strong in the ‘Burgh

With temperatures above 60 degrees and vacations in full swing, Pittsburgh has welcomed back its annual farmers market, providing residents with the opportunity to support local businesses and connect with members in their community. Presented by CitiParks, the City of Pittsburgh’s Farmers Markets, taking place in Squirrel Hill, East End, Carrick and Northside, will satisfy your appetite and give consumers the opportunity to choose from a variety of farm-fresh fruits, baked goods and hand-crafted products. Lena Laskaris, owner of Wise County Biscuits, will give participants the option to choose from an array of freshly baked and frozen biscuits at CitiParks Northside and Squirrel Hill markets. “[Along with our biscuits], we offer a selection of spreads, sausage gravy and baked goods,” Laskaris said. Laskaris, who has participated in the Northside market since Sept. 2022, says that participating has been a great way to promote business and introduce herself to a community that she has not had the opportunity to engage with before. ‘The neighborhood has been welcoming and excited to discuss the cafe and all the ups and downs that go into opening a new space,” Laskaris said. “This market is unique because we’re trying to set guests up for a great weekend of breakfast at home.”
