Sayler Park Farmers' Market

By: Richard Stewart (Jun 1, 2009)
I am biased. I sell here (I'll be honest about that!). The setting is one of the most comfortable markets in the area. It is urrounded by old growth trees, a park, lots of shade, and old restored Victorian homes that were resident to lock and riverboat captains that worked the Ohio River in the 1800s.

It is one of the few local markets that opens in May and has a decent supply or early fresh produce, which can be hard to find as the weather heats up in June (when most local markets open).

It is small, but as a local produce grower and beekeeper we find selling locally (within 5 miles of our farm) to be the most rewarding experience. We sell to our neighbors and our neighbors seem to enjoy our produce and honey. The relationship is rare and wondrous one that few produce growers and market goers have.
