| A: | Yes. And all of the food and plants they bring must be produced in Ohio. We believe in "local!" |
|
|
| A: | Yes! What's brought to market is what's growing in season in Ohio. Some farmers do extend seasons by using greenhouses, high tunnels, and hoop houses. |
|
|
| A: | Absolutely not. We are producer-only. |
|
|
| A: | It means that everything sold at each stall is produced by the grower or cottage food operation at that stall. |
|
|
| A: | No, but many use organic methods. Be sure to ask them how they grow their food. |
|
|
| A: | Producers or growers of food and plants and cottage food operations. In certain circumstances we also have small-scale producers who produce in small quantities in a commercial kitchen and some producers with an RFE for a special purpose. |

|
|
| A: | See the definitions and requirements of Ohio Department of Agriculture. |
|
|
| A: | See the guidelines for this year's date. If space is available, we can continue to receive applications through the year. Guidelines (in PDF) |
|
|
| A: | Because our market space is limited, we do not have craft stalls. Sometimes, a craft is permitted if the producer has made it from items grown on his/her farm; check the guidelines. |
|
|
| A: | Because our market space is limited, we assign it only to growers, cottage food operations, and special pre-approved producers. |
|
|
| A: | The market is there because of the generosity of the local businesses. Please thank them and patronize them! |
|
|
| A: | Not within market boundaries because it interferes with lines/sales in front of farmers' stalls. But you may set up as you can, north and south of the market entrances. |
|
|
| A: | We ask that you have your dog on a short leash and under your control at all times. |
|
|
| A: | The market has a limited number of spots for musicians, which are all reserved in advance. If you'd like to be considered, please send us a message and examples of your music through our Web site. |

|
| A: | Fairness to customers. Our posted, advertised hours of business are 9-noon. If customers come at 11:00 and consistently find producers sold out because they’ve sold early, it's not fair to customers. Fairness to producers. Not all arrive and unload at one time. If some are selling while some are still arriving and setting up, or trying to abide by rules, it's not an even playing field. Safety. All unloading producer vehicles are not moved away until nearly 9:00 a.m. To allow customers to come earlier and earlier is a safety issue. Pedestrians and moving, large vehicles aren't a good mix. |
