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
