Winter Farmer's Markets

We're always told to eat locally. That's hard in Ohio in the winter...or is it? I never knew that there are a few winter farmer's markets near me until my co-author :) sent me this video clip. I'll have to check it out!



I looked up the Kent Farmer's Market and these are the dates/times they're open:

I didn't post everything from Kent, but they have a lot more produce, greens, herbs and such. Or you can always just order from Breezy Hill Farms and pick up your order in North Canton! (I sent my second order in today!)
