Haymaker Winter Farmers' Market

Haymaker Farmers' Market operates throughout the year in Kent, providing a venue for the community to connect with local food producers. Our market takes pride in offering fresh and prepared food, while also serving as a platform for agricultural and environmental education. Every Saturday morning, we gather to create a vibrant atmosphere that encourages direct access to quality food and the promotion of the arts.

During the winter season, from November to March, the market moves indoors at UU Church-Hobbs Hall on Mantua Street in Kent, Ohio. This shift ensures that our patrons can continue enjoying fresh local produce and unique culinary offerings even in colder months.

Our market is known for its wide array of locally produced goods, ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables to delectable baked goods, traditional and otherwise. We also offer grass-fed meats, pastured eggs, honey products, and more artisan items such as handmade soaps and art. We aim to foster a deeper connection with food among our customers by creating an engaging market experience.

Our commitment to food accessibility is evident through our food assistance programs that serve the community. We support SNAP/EBT benefits with Produce Perks, offering matching funds to purchase fresh produce. Additionally, WIC Perks vouchers are available for those eligible to further assist with acquiring fresh fruits and vegetables.

Through engaging events and educational activities at the market, we promote sustainable practices and community involvement. We encourage volunteers to join us and contribute to this lively community effort, enhancing the experience for both vendors and visitors alike.
