Many communities in the Northwoods hold weekly farmers markets offering a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, baked goods and more.
In WXPR’s seasonal series “Rooted Up North”, we’re highlighting our local farmers markets and sharing what you’ll be able to find.
In this episode, Katie Thoresen talks with Iron County Farmers Market Board Chairman Bruce Dalman about the biweekly farmers Market in Hurley.
The Iron County Farmers Market in Hurley is open Saturday’s from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and Wednesday’s from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The market is located at 13420 N 10th Ave. Hurley, WI 54534.
Dalman encourages people to bring cash as many of the vendors don’t take cards.
