The vegetables and fruits at the market are
harvested from local Ohio farms just hours before
the market opens. Come, meet the farmers who
grow your food! |

Market Background:
Planning for The Clintonville Farmers’ Market
began in the winter and spring of 2003, by a
group of Clintonville residents who were eager
to obtain local produce and have a personal
connection with the farmers/producers who grow
it. Since the first Clintonville Farm Market day
in 2003, thousands have patronized the Market
and experienced the wonderful flavors and colors
of locally produced
fruits, vegetables, baked goods, beef and
poultry.
Farmers at The Clintonville Farmers’ Market are
“niche” farmers.
This means they don’t produce everything the
cook requires but every product they produce is
top quality. Produce sold at the Market is truly
fresh! It is picked less than 24 hours before
the opening moments of the Market. Participating
farmers live and grow their products within
15-75 miles of Columbus. The produce at a
farmers’ market is grown for flavor, taste and
nutrition—not for travel.
The way I see it, it makes sense to spend money
on wholesome good food now, instead of medical
bills due to poor nutrition later. When I
encounter someone who expresses concern about
the cost of good food, I remind them that they
are worth it!! Your body knows the difference
between quality food and junk food…so nourish
yourself well.
Thank you for patronizing the Clintonville
Farmers’ Market. We are grateful to be a part of
this vibrant community!
Eat Well & Prosper,
Lynne Genter
Chair of the Board
