The Northside Farmers Market
Northside Farmers Market Offers Variety During Winter Month
FarmersÕ markets are not just for the summer months. If you think
that you cannot find fresh local foods in the winter, think again and
visit the Northside Farmers Market (NFM) every Wednesday from 4pm-7pm at
the North Presbyterian Church, 4222 Hamilton Ave.
Over 20 vendors offer seasonal produce like greens, squash, carrots,
potatoes, onion, sweet potatoes, leeks, and more, along with breads and
pastries, fermented foods, nuts, mushrooms, meats, cheeses, eggs, soaps,
and crafts. This year, NFM proudly includes a selection of vendors
selling gluten-free breads, pizza dough, muffins, scones, and other
pastries. Shopping at the farmers market allows customers to meet
farmers growing food in the region, to taste the flavors of the Ohio
Valley, and to support local businesses.
NFM strives to make healthy local foods accessible to everyone. VISA,
MasterCard, SNAP Ohio Direction Card, and WIC transactions are accepted
at the Market Info booth. In addition, NFM participates in "Produce
Perks", a matching funds incentive program which allows low-income
individuals to receive up to $10 each market visit for use on vegetable
and fruit purchases.
At each market enjoy live music, kids' activities, cooking and
nutrition workshops, Farm To Table chef demonstrations, and fun
activities for everyone.
