North Union Farmers Market
Saturday mornings  8 am - noon   Their 19th year at the Square
 

The North Union Farmers Market reopened for  its 2013 season at Shaker Square on Saturday morning April 6, with a blessing for a prosperous season, followed by the annual sheep shearing.

The Farmers Market will continue each Saturday morning through December 21, 2013.

This is their 19th year at the Square. Once again this year the Market will use both lanes of Shaker Boulevard, until the Fall when only one lane is used.

On opening day, after the blessing, our annual sheep shearing  begins. It's a real attraction for youngsters. Geoff Baldwin, our sheepshearer, will tell stories to young and old alike, while he shears his sheep.

We will again be accepting SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) cards at the Shaker Square Market.

Local Farmers will unveil their fresh grown produce, bakers will present delicious artisan breads and pastries, and for the "cooking-challenged" there will be prepared foods created locally with an international flair. Fine artists and craftsmen round out the festive market Clevelanders have grown to love! As we look forward to planting our gardens, our Spring Flower Market of acclimatized plants grown in Ohio and ready to adapt to your garden, will be waiting for you.

A weekly highlight will be the Chef at the Market program, with local chefs and fantastic home cooks showing how to prepare spring dishes.

The Market is named for the North Union Shakers (1822 - 1889) whose land became the major part of Shaker Heights.

After the outdoor market closes we will enjoy the North Union Farmers Market indoors, in the same location as last year. click here.
