SUMMARY:North Union Farmers Markets Open Their Outdoor Season
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSat 4/4 @ 8AM-noon\nSat 4/4 @ 9AM-1PM\nThe North Union Mark
 ets\, which now number seven — two year-round markets and five seasonal 
 summer markets — were founded in 1995 by Donita Anderson\, who retired l
 ast year as their director\, and launched the farmers market epidemic in N
 ortheast Ohio.\nBoth the original North Union Market\, the Shaker Square M
 arket (which moves to the Van Aken District Market Hall)\, and the Crocker
  Park Market. operate year-round. But they truly flower on the first Satur
 day in April when\, regardless of the weather — which can be sunny and i
 n the cities or snowing and in the 20s — they move back to their outdoor
  locations.\nAll the vendors are local to Northeast Ohio and “producers
 ” only — farmers and makers of food products who raise/manufacture eve
 rything themselves. You’ll find baked goods\, meat\, honey\, jams and je
 llies\, mushrooms\, flowers and seasonal produce — don’t expect tomato
 es in April. You’ll also find craftspeople with items ranging from ceram
 ics to soaps to candles\, musicians playing for the shoppers\, and cooking
  demonstrations.\nAnd on opening day at Shaker Square the shearing of the 
 sheep returns\, when sheep are shorn of their heavy winter coats. That tak
 es place at the Crocker Park Market on its second day outdoors\, April 11.
  The markets are then outdoors until the Saturday before Christmas. Hours 
 at Shaker Square are 8am-noon\; at Crocker Park 9am-1pm.\nnorthunionfarmer
