The Cherry Street location is open on Saturday mornings and the Brookside location is open on Wednesday mornings. Both offer locally grown produce, meats, dairy and baked goods from Oklahoma family farms. Although the Cherry street location only runs through October, the Brookside location switches to every other Saturday from November through March, so you can buy fresh produce all year long.
