About our Market Partners
Cuyahoga Valley National Park is the partner for our Saturday morning market at its new Howe Meadow location. Established in 1974 as a National Recreation Area, the park received National Park status in 2000. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is also Countryside Conservancy's partner for the Countryside Initiative program, which offers long-term leases of farms within the National Park boundaries. For more information on Cuyahoga Valley National Park visit their website. For more information on the Countryside Initiative click here.
Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens is the partner and host of our Thursday evening market. Stan Hywet is the historic country estate of F.A. and Gertrude Seiberling. Built between 1912 and 1915, the 65 room Manor House and grounds are available to the public in keeping with the Seiberling crest motto "Non Nobus Solum" or "Not for us Alone." For more information on this magnificent museum and its gardens visit their website at Stan Hywet. |

| Dear Market Supporter,
Happy New Year!!
I am not usually one to make specific resolutions for the New Year. I tend to periodically renew my resolve to do better in this area of my life or that, regardless of the time of year. This year, I have an unspoken (until now) desire to challenge myself to try new things, and to make some things that were only occasional happenings more habitual, and of course they both center on food.
If your resolutions, like mine, include supporting local farms and businesses, or making healthier or more conscientious food choices, our extended winter markets are the ticket to your success! Come share the joy of the new year with your local farmers, and keep your resolutions on track.
See You at the Market-
Beth Knorr

It is with much gratitude that we recognize the contribution of our dedicated volunteers. We are so thankful for their willingness to rise early on a Saturday morning, or hang out late on a Thursday evening to pitch in - during rain, snow and heat - to make the markets run smoothly.
