Our special thanks to the 40 different vendors over the season who made the farmers’ market a great place to shop. A number of them will continue to sell produce, jams and spreads, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, and crafts through the Local Bounty store located on Rt. 83 near Lake Park. Remember to stock up there for the holiday season. Regular hours are Thursday and Friday, 2 to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hours will be extended just before the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Have a great winter and see you in May!

We also have plenty of baked goods—pies, bread, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and candies. Try some homemade egg noodles, local honey, and maple syrup, too.

Decorating for fall? The market has beautiful mums, gourds, Indian corn, corn shocks, painted “jack o’lantern” gourds, and bright-colored pumpkins and winter squash. You’ll also find special gifts—wood crafts, handknit wool hats and scarves, note cards, memo boards, fire starters, hand-dipped beeswax candles, and more.

The market is open through October 29. Don’t miss it!

The market still has plenty of produce to buy, with a mixture of summer and fall fruits and vegetables. Local tomatoes are winding down but still available from some vendors. We also have apples, raspberries, beets, squash, pumpkins, lettuce, carrots, eggplants, green and wax beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, cut flowers, and fall mums.

The market offers a great selection of delicious homemade bread, cookies, sweet rolls, pies, and cakes, as well as local honey, maple syrup, jams and jellies, and homemade noodles.

The gift season is approaching, so check out our craft vendors as well. They offer handmade fabric items such as placemats, aprons, and potholders; also handknit wool scarves and hats, wooden toys handcrafted from local wood, creative note cards, and more.

As the weather cools a bit, lettuces and greens will be making a comeback.. Mesclun, arugula, salad mixes, romaine, and assorted head lettuces will appear at vendors’ booths, so get ready for some tasty salads.

In addition to produce, look for local maple syrup, honey, and artisan raw-milk cheeses. We have crafters making fabric and wool items, wooden signs and toys, note cards, and all-natural soaps. The weather is getting more pleasant, so enjoy a Saturday morning at the market. See you there!

July and August bring a bounty of delicious vegetables and fruits from farms and gardens. It’s prime time for local produce in Ohio, and a great time to visit the market and take advantage of all that’s growing. Nothing beats the taste of just-picked produce in season.

Expect to find green beans fresh from the “patch,” flavorful sweet corn, and local peaches. Zucchini and summer squash are abundant, as well as cucumbers, beets, carrots, sweet peppers, new potatoes, and summer apples. You’ll also find onions, fresh herbs, garlic, kale, Swiss chard, eggplant, cherries, and summer berries for your breakfast cereal or special desserts. Growers are bringing beautiful cut flowers from their gardens as well.

The weather has been especially hard for strawberries, but several vendors are selling them. Ron and Mary Meyer of Strawberry Hill Farm also sell their homemade strawberry jam and strawberry vinaigrette salad dressing. Additional produce available right now: garlic scapes (the flower stalks of garlic plants), lettuce and greens, radishes, and green onions. Soon there will be early peas.

The market welcomes some exciting new vendors this year.. Russ Riggle of Possum Products handcrafts beautiful wooden toys to delight children of all ages—trains, tractors, trucks and cars, and even farm animals and fences. Amy Shaw of The Flour Basket sells scrumptious cakes, muffins, and iced cinnamon rolls. And Theresa Scheetz is the gourmet cupcake lady, with a delicious selection of cupcakes and brownies.
