Tremont Farmers' Market

In the UK, a “local” is a nearby pub: not just a place to drink beer, but a place to eat and a place to stay in touch with neighbors and get the latest gossip. We are part of a local food movement. However, I’m sure hoping this localism takes a permanent hold, and that I won’t have to use the word “local” quite so much, because frankly, I’m getting a bit sick of it. Wouldn’t it be great if the majority of our food was produced by us or near us and we didn’t have to specify? I’d like to throw my car keys off the cliff; to walk or bike everywhere, waving to my neighbors or stopping to chat. Extremely idealistic, I realize, but I can dream, can’t I? Until then, let’s get as local as we can! This week, in addition to exceptional food, we also have local artists selling their wares. And a chance to donate blood locally. Make TFM your Local.

Blaze Gourmet, Blue Sage Farm, The Bonbon Bake Shop, Foodgazi Farms, Hickory Acres Meats of Oberlin, Lucky Penny Creamery, Morningside Farm, Ms. Julie’s Kitchen, Noon Sharpening, No Whey Chocolates, Ohio Farm Direct, Plant Kingdom Bakery, Por-Bar Farms, Posh Pierogies, Red Basket Farm, The Spicehound, Tremont Digs, t. by Sarah, Woolf Farms, and Wonder City Farm.

5PM Chef Demo: Chef Mary Wills from The Good Fork, a creative catering business whose motto is: Simple, Sustainable and Green. Gaining inspiration from her grandmother, New York City and Italy, we are lucky to have Mary come to the market to share her talents with us!

4-5 and 6-7PM Music: Dave Pea (David Petrovich) of The Very Knees playing.

Life Share Blood Drive is returning! Another way to support your neighbors. Local Blood.
“Founded in 1948, LifeShare Community Blood Services is the only source of blood to Lorain County and is a primary provider to Cuyahoga and Stark counties. LifeShare also supplements hospitals in Summit, Tuscarawas and surrounding counties. Donated blood remains in the community where it was given.”

Greg Tomasi is now a market regular. A certified Reiki Practitioner, Greg offers you his time and good energy. Free 5-10 minute Reiki session. I finally got in the chair last week! Amazing how he gravitated toward my left shoulder, which has bothered me for years, and without me having said a word. A very relaxing, experience, which left me grounded and ready to deal with anything! And I really, really needed it last week.

WIC, Senior’s Coupons and EBT proudly accepted.

But promise me
you won’t chop down my trees.
