Typically, the beginning of the season in most markets can be low-key; that's true even for well-established markets, and all the more so for mid-week markets.
So, for a new mid-week market to take off like a race-horse like this market did indicates tremendous community interest in local foods as well as the presence of a leadership team that understands the importance of good marketing.
The Piqua Market has a lot going for it: a diverse group of vendors; community support, and a steady flow of customers from the opening bell at 3:00 right through to the finish line at 7:00. That's a winning combination.
Miami County now has a new destination place, a thriving Farmers Market in Piqua.
