Haymaker Farmers' Market

The Haymaker Farmers' Market is a vibrant and sustainable gathering place that provides a bridge between local food producers and the community. We offer direct access to a wide variety of local fresh and prepared foods, promoting agricultural and environmental education and the arts. Each Saturday, we open our doors in Kent, Ohio, allowing residents and visitors alike to connect meaningfully with their food sources.

Our Farmers' Market operates year-round, with our winter season held indoors from November through March, between 10 AM and 1 PM, at 217 N. Mantua St (UU Church-Hobbs Hall) in Kent. During the warmer months, you can enjoy shopping outdoors beneath a beautifully painted bridge. We have a diverse selection of vendors offering everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to prepared foods and handmade goods.

The market is not only a place to shop but also a community hub that encourages people to engage with each other and the food they consume. Vendors provide items like grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, fresh cut flowers, and handmade soaps, all prepared with care and dedication.

For individuals requiring assistance, the market welcomes SNAP/EBT/Ohio Direction Cards and provides a fantastic Produce Perks program, offering a $25 match for the purchase of fresh produce. WIC benefits users can also access a $10 voucher to spend at the market. These initiatives ensure that all community members have access to fresh and healthy foods.

We invite everyone to get involved, whether through volunteering with us or simply enjoying a leisurely visit. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed of market happenings and product offerings. Together, let’s deepen our relationships with our food, share stories, and build connections.
