MmHmm, That's Right. We’re Ohio Famous!

We were featured in Ohio Magazine's "Famous Ohio Markets" issue, and as we just celebrated 10 seasons, there is a reason why. Our special market is packed with locally grown produce, handcrafted chocolate, bread, art, and more! We also accept SNAP/EBT and participate in a food access program to match your benefits up to $100 per market day. Visit our Market Director table during your next visit to learn more!
