As cool(ish) breezes start sweeping through our sprawling county's streets, squares, and parks, the allure of open-air farmers' markets grows faster than a gourd. Here's the lowdown on some of the best markets to find the freshest locally-grown produce, unique Miami-made crafts, and the tastiest home-cooked bites of the season. Most markets are open year-round, unless noted otherwise. It's always best to check individual markets' websites before you head out, because most markets are outdoors and subject to the vagaries of the weather.
