The NECIC North End Farmers Market will be open EVERY Wednesday from 3:00pm-6:00pm starting June 6th until September!

North End Farmers Market still offers DOUBLE Ohio Direction Card purchases up to $20 per person per week with the SNAP Match program! The SNAP Match tokens may be spent only on fruits, vegetables, meat, and honey, as outlined by the grant.


Confirmed vendors include The Odd Sprout Farm with fresh produce; Share ‘N Dipity with baked goods; Downtown Greens with fresh produce; Indigo featuring clothing, jewelry, and decorative items; Byrd’s Bees with fresh, local honey and produce; and Scentsy, featuring scented wax melts and more, with additional vendors possible as the season progresses.

Special events will take place during the market this year, from vendor cooking challenges and chef demos to music, entertainment, and prizes.
 
On the Fourth of July, there will be music, food, and face-painting and will also include a competition for the most festive holiday wear, with the winner receiving $20 in Market Bucks, which are farmers’ market gift certificates.

More events will be announced during the season on their Facebook page so
