There is nothing better than fresh fruit and vegetables found at a local farmers market, especially when the vendors use their produce to create delicious sweet treats that melt in your mouth. That is just what you will find along Alabama’s Coastal Connection Scenic Byway.
Burris Farm Market on Hwy. 59 in Loxley is a prime example. Locally grown veggies and fruits line the aisles. The aroma of freshness has filled the air here for more than 30 years. Yum! Burris Farm Market is open Wednesday-Monday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is one stop you do not want to miss.
A few miles farther south is the Coastal Alabama Farmers and Fishermens Market. It’s located right off County Road 20 in Foley, down the road from OWA and next to Wolf Bay Lodge. Here you will find locally sourced fruits, vegetables and seafood. The market’s mission is to promote healthy foods from the bounty of the Gulf Coast and make them readily available to all. The local farmers and area fishermen ensure their products are fresh, from high-quality produce to organic beef and seafood. The market is open year-round on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Be sure to stop by and stock up at all the local markets along the byway – and don’t forget to include some yummy treats to enjoy beachside!
