Local farmers' markets

Neighborhoods around Cincinnati are taking produce into their own hands by starting farmers' markets. Community markets are becoming popular as the demand for organic, locally grown food increases. There are a number of benefits to shopping at a farmers' market instead of the grocery chain. Local produce and meats taste better and have a lower embodied energy than most of the food found at the grocery store, which is often harvested thousands of miles away. Farmers' markets are a great place to socialize as well. You can organize a trip with friends, plan a meal with your family, or simply chit chat with the local vendors and farmers. Here's a list of some of the markets popping up around town. For more information about these farmers' markets, you can visit their websites or go to Cincinnatfarmersmarkets.com .
