The Tuscarawas Valley Family Farm Market


The farmers' market is becoming a reality. With the help of dedicated friends and volunteers, we will soon have a real farmers' market in this little town. Nearly two years ago we all sat down and decided this was a project that had to come to fruition. We were all tired of driving to Wooster or Akron to get fresh food when we were surrounded by growers and producers right here in our own county. Even the local producers had to make a long trip to sell because there was no venue available in the area.

Tonight is our first vendor meeting. We will welcome them with a cook-out at the fairgrounds. We will be serving burgers made from fresh, local beef, beans and potato salad. I'll sneak a few veggie burgers on the grill to satisfy my own desire for carbon coated goodness.

The market will be held at 259 S. Tuscarawas Ave in Dover each Wednesday starting June 10, from 3-7 PM.

Currently our vendors will be selling...

beef

pork

cheese

eggs

honey

produce

herbs

artisan bread

dog treats

soap

arts and crafts

fresh-cut flowers

bedding plants

  1. This is so exciting. You must be so proud to see it a reality.

    Did I tell you we talked about this in English class? The students were very interested.
