Local Farmers Markets
This list of Ohio Farmers Markets is by no means comprehensive but they are markets that Marilou has visited. In general, these markets are producer only markets, meaning that the majority of the products brought to market are grown or raised on Ohio farms. Check each market’s website for more information and seasonal updates.
