Another fantastic week for the Cleveland Farmers Market. Not only did we have new produce (grapes in the Delta!), new farmers (welcome, Nancy Nassar), and new customers but we had tasty samples of cantaloupe and watermelon for vendors, volunteers, and customers alike. It was the best and certainly freshest breakfast I've had in a long time. The picture is of repeat customer Barbara Levingston and farmer Mack Hoop.

Don't forget that you can support the Cleveland Farmers Market by buying our unique shirts and bags. The bags are $13. Shirts are $12 (kids), $13 (adult M, L, XL), $15 (XXL), and $16 (XXXL). All proceeds go directly to the market.

Here's the recap:

  • Louis and Rie Somlai and Karen Bell were at the Friends Tent this week, handing out snackies, selling shirts and bags, tallying customers, and greeting customers. Thanks, y'all!
  • Farmers present/represented: The Apple Farm, Patrice Chandler, Mr. Smitty, Mr. Toole, the Sellers Gang, the Basil Boy and his buddies, the Hoops, and new farmer Nancy Nassar from Merigold.
