Milton Farmers Market has fruits, vegetables at their peak Aug. 31

Late August is the perfect time to visit the Milton Farmers Market, as summer fruits and vegetables - delicious peaches, just-right ears of corn, and much more - are harvested and brought right to the market.

Twenty vendors and food trucks are regulars at the weekly market, located in the heart of eastern Sussex County next to Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, 6 Village Center Blvd. The Milton Farmers Market takes place every Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. Visitors will find everything from locally raised fruits and vegetables to homemade pastries, artisanal soaps, organic meats, Alaskan-caught salmon, kettle corn and fudge.

When summer gives way to cooler temperatures and harvest season, the Milton Farmers Market will be ready with a slew of vendors offering in-season produce, as well as two fall-themed festivals.

Come for an Oktoberfest event at the market Friday, Oct. 5, featuring fall offerings and pumpkin carving. Each Friday’s market features live musical performances, and the Oktoberfest music will be provided by Hooverville, which offers classic rock, blues and country.

Return Friday, Nov. 16, for the Harvest Market and start getting Thanksgiving provisions together. Music for the Harvest Market will be performed by Slinging Daises, which delivers barefoot soul music.
