The wait is over! Join us for the Opening Day celebration of the Lancaster Farmers Market this Saturday, May 7th.

The Market Bell rings at 8:30 am and the Market Bar opens at 9:00. We'll be serving up mint juleps and mimosas to toast the new season!

Festivities will include two food trucks – Comida el Catrin and Nanny’s Kitchen.

OSU Extension Fairfield County will join us with a free seed giveaway, kids’ activities and their famous smoothie bike. The Lancaster Festival will also be there to get you excited about the upcoming Festival season.

To celebrate the release of the 2022 Fairfield Growing Agricultural Economic Development Plan for Fairfield County, the first 200 visitors will receive a free Fairfield Growing tote bag full of resources about local food and destinations. Visit the OSU Extension Fairfield County tent to claim yours.

Special thanks to our Opening Day event sponsor: Clark Insurance!

We are looking for volunteers for Opening Day and beyond to keep things running smoothly.

Volunteering at the market is a fun way to get involved with your local food community! You can scope out all the goods and get to know the vendors and customers.

If you're interested in learning more, reply to this newsletter or email us at [email protected] and we'll add you to our volunteer email list. Then, you'll learn about opportunities and can sign yourself up when it works for you - no regular commitment necessary. We hope you'll join us!

Produce Perks Midwest is a regional program that makes healthy foods more available while supporting local farmers.

Produce Perks doubles the purchasing power for SNAP recipients. Each time you shop with SNAP, we can match what you spend - up to $25 each day - with "Produce Perks" good for free local fruits and vegetables.
