Tremont Farmers’ Market

Can a farmers’ market get more local than this?

Community-organized market will include local growers, artists and musicians beginning on Saturday, June 2nd from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Summer is here and the Cleveland area has got the farmers’ markets to prove it!  Farmers’ markets give visitors the chance to get to know the people who grow their food.  The Tremont Farmers’ Market provides a particularly unique opportunity to get to know who’s growing the food; all of the farmers are living and growing food right in the city of Cleveland. 

            Come to the Tremont Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the corner of Starkweather and Professor in Cleveland’s Tremont Neighborhood to enjoy this truly local market.  Rain or shine, there will be fresh local produce, music and crafts.  Health educators will also be at the market once a month to share wellness tips with market visitors.
