June is bustin’ out all over — and so are farmers markets. While a few, such as the main North Union Markets are Crocker Park and Shaker Square run year-round and a few, such as the Tremont Farmers Market in Lincoln Park, get an early start, most of them open in the next few weeks, now that the possibility of snow is passed (we hope) and farmers are harvesting their early groups. As of the next couple of weeks, there’ll be a plethora of new choices of where to spend your grocery money.
All of the North Union satellite markets open in the next two weeks, with the Cleveland Clinic market on Wed 6/1 @ 10:30am-1:30pm; the University Hospitals market on Thu 6/2 10:30am-1:30pm; the downtown Chagrin Falls market Sun 6/5 @ 10am-1pm; Cleveland Clinic Beachwood Wed 6/8 @ 10:30am-1:30pm; and Playhouse Square Thu 6/9 @ 10:30am-1:30pm.
Look for all of the Cleveland Botanical Garden Green Corps Learning Farms’ stands to open this week too. You can buy fresh produce directly from the teenagers who work on the farms, located in Slavic Village (Thursdays) , Midtown (Thursdays), Fairfax (Wednesdays), Buckeye (Tuesdays) and Central (Tuesdays). All are open from 2-5:30pm. Go here for exact locations.
