Thank you to Old Trail School for their generous sponsorhip of Countryside Farmers' Markets.

 

Dear Market Supporter,
 

As you may be aware, there is some construction happening in the valley that might affect your route to the market.  Those coming from the south will find that Riverview Rd. is closed until Bath Rd.  Using Akron-Peninsula Rd (just on the other side of the river) is a great alternative.

 

Also, please note that Catherine Gund will be signing books from 9:30am - 11:30 am only.  Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to get a signed copy of What's On Your Plate!


See you there,

Heather Roszczyk

Market Assistant


Demonstrate your love of our vendors!   

Once again in 2011 American Farmland Trust is holding their "America's Favorite Farmers' Market" contest.  We are so excited to be in Ohio's top 5, but would really love to take the first prize!!  We think our vendors are top notch, and deserve that recognition, don't you?  Please take a few short minutes to vote for us.  You can find our market by clicking on Ohio's Top five, or by entering our zip code: 44264 in the search section.  Thanks for your support!!  


Upcoming Events: 

Mark your calendars for our annual Tomato Tasting & Salsa Smackdown on August 27!  We are gearing up for a full-blown celebration of one of summer's tastiest foods including a guided juice flight, loads of samples, a tasting guide, and of course the feisty salsa competition between the chefs from The Greenhouse Tavern.

 

OEFFA & Countryside Conservancy are partnering to offer a workshop for established fruit and vegetable growers: Raising the Salad Bar, scheduled for November.  Learn more here .
