Fresh Local Produce Markets in Cleveland
North Union Farmers Market has been a cornerstone of Northeast Ohio's local food movement since 1995. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we connect certified local producers with consumers through a network of producer-only farmers markets. Our three-decade commitment to sustainable agriculture has incubated over 350 small businesses, supported 10,000+ acres of Ohio farmland, and distributed $120,000+ in food assistance programs. We operate 10 vibrant markets across Cleveland and surrounding areas, offering fresh produce, artisan goods, and educational programs like Chef at the Market and The Frittata Project.

Our community-focused approach includes live music, food access initiatives, and partnerships that strengthen local economies. With both outdoor and indoor markets operating year-round, we provide consistent access to locally grown food while fostering connections between farmers, artisans, and consumers. Our impact extends beyond markets through food education programs for children and annual conferences that empower farmers and food producers.
