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. Read more
