Urban Farmers' Market-- May 16th




The Urban Farmers’ Market will be on MAY 16th, from 9am - 1pm.

DON'T MISS IT :)

It’s not just any farmers’ market...it was started by community gardeners!! At this market, you can:

  • LEARN from gardening and cooking demos

  • CHOOSE from fresh foods grown in your neighborhood

  • GET YOUR GARDEN STARTED with tomato, pepper, squash and flower plants (proceeds support our gardens--and plants are just $.50 each!!)

These folks will also have their stuff available at the UFM:

  • Dandelion Deeds--handmade clothes, kitchen and garden gear
  • Tim Elkins--locally roasted coffee
  • HoneyRun Farms--spring greens, soap and honey
  • The Greener Grocer Veggie Van--fresh produce supporting ohio farmers

Finally, the market will coincide with a Block Party that includes games, raffles and community services info, happening from 9 am to 4pm on the same spot.

FIND THE MARKET @ the corner of North 4th street and 18th. http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&q=4th+street+and+18th+columbus+OH+43202&ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=40.004952,-82.998576&spn=0.004224,0.009012&z=16&iwloc=A
