Spring is finally here and the North Union Farmer’s Market is back for its 10th season at Crocker Park. A wide array of vendors will be on hand selling everything from local, organic produce and meats to honey, preserves and baked goods. You can also purchase plants you can take home to start your own organic garden. This year’s new location is across from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Hours are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the market takes place every Saturday through December. (Trenholme) Credit: Photo via Cleveland Scene Archives
There are many signs that spring has sprung, but few are as natural as the North Union Farmers Market at Shaker Square’s annual shift from indoors to outdoors. That shift will take place on Saturday, April 7th, running from 8 a.m. until noon.
As is the tradition of the North Union Farmers Market at Shaker Square – aka the Shaker Market – the outdoor season will kick off with the annual blessing of the farms and farmers at 8 a.m. sharp, to be followed by the ever-popular sheep-shearing demos. This season marks the 23rd year for the long-running producers-only farmers market.
North Union Farmers Market’s season continues every Saturday through December 22.

Always welcome to see the opening of the Shaker Sq farmers market. But next time, do try to use a photo that is actually from that market. SMH, lol.
