Nothing says summer quite like fresh produce. Tomatoes bursting with ripeness, sweet corn on the cob, and, of course, watermelon. Concord’s farm stands are here for you. Nothing could be simpler than stopping by and picking up the season’s best for your dinner table.
There are 812 acres of working farmland surrounding Concord, and summertime provides a bumper crop of fresh fruit and vegetables. These working farm stands use every acre of farmland to provide healthy options for every meal! It is worth a visit to these ‘grocery stores of summer’ where the harvest can go from your grocery tote to dinner plate without needing more than a splash of oil and vinegar.
The COVID-19 virus has taken a toll on area farmers. With mandated closures coming right at the beginning of spring, the fresh fruits and vegetables that we all love were out of reach for a time.
We have good news, though. Many farms are open once again with online ordering, curbside service, no-contact purchasing stations, and other programs to ensure that you can easily and safely get your five-a-day of fresh fruits and veggies. Here is a quick round-up of just a few of Concord’s gems where you can find some of the freshest fruits and vegetables this summer.*
