The Cottage Grove Farmers Market runs every Thursday throughout the summer and into the fall. Featuring all your favorite fruit and vegetables, as well as some unique varieties from local farmers, the market is the perfect place for all your farm to table needs.
Like another well-known apple picking option in the area, Whistling Well Farm has a lot to offer in terms of picking and activities. What makes Whistling Well unique is its laid-back, easy going nature. With no admission fee it’s a great spot to get out and be in nature, while keeping the flexibility of hopping in the car just before nap time.

Grab some hearty ‘farm to you’ meats for the family and top it off by bringing your knives, scissors and shears to the mobile knife sharpener! And if you don’t feel like cooking dinner, opt for the hot off the press hot dogs or the various food trucks that stop by each week!
