DON'T MISS ANY OF THE FUN! BRING A FRIEND! BRING A NEIGHBOR!
Hello and welcome back to another exciting season of good eating and fun special events at our market!
Many of our 'regular' vendors' will be returning for your shopping pleasure this summer, and we're excited to announce
several new vendors, coming on board with a variety of items, sure to tickle your taste buds!
As our market enters our fifth summer, it is just growing by leaps and bounds!
We're actually not sure there's room on Church Street for all the vendors planning on showing up this summer!
What we need now is YOU! our loyal customers, to tell all of your friends and neighbors about us.
You really need to plan on making EVERY Thursday, market day this summer!
Mark your calendars NOW! You won't want to miss any of the fun and excitement!
WE'RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE AND WELCOME THE FOLLOWING NEW VENDORS FOR 2009:
and there are only 2 producers in all of Northeast Ohio, it's been a challenge.
GOOD NEWS!!
The multi-award-winning Mackenzie Creamery,out of nearby Hiram, has found a way to clone themselves,
and be in two places at one time! Owner Jean Mackenzie could never make it to our market, because she was
busy attending another market she had previously committed to. (This happens a lot in the farmers' market world!)
BUT, thanks to 2 Twinsburg residents who happen to love goat cheese, and happen to be friends with Jean,
AND happen to be available on Thursday afternoons to man her booth here,
WE will all be able to taste and purchase her award-winning cheeses here at the Twinsburg market!!! YEA!!!
(whew! now that was a run-on sentence!)
Both assure me that they grow 13 different varieties of garlic!!!
I must confess, I didn't even know there were 13 varieties of garlic, did you?
Since the growing season is short for this specialty crop, I'd suggest checking your cookbooks for garlic recipes now!
They'll only be with us the month of July, unless they have a super-bumper crop. Can't wait to try some samples!
The first taste of Moni's marble pound cake was enough to convince me to add her to our market.
I'm sure you'll enjoy both meeting her, and tasting her cakes! She assured me she'll bring samples, too!
are a Twinsburg mother and daughter team who've named their business, Mulligan's Munchies.
They'll be joining us on July 9th and 23rd, just to get their feet wet in the market business.
** a note here: Also returning will be former vendor, Bow Wow Baskets dog treats, recently relocated to here in Twinsburg,
and featured on a recent Monica Robbins' Channel 3 News feature.
My list keeps getting longer! Also expected and new this year will be the apples, peaches, pears, and plums from
Vincent Orchards in Salem, Ohio. Thought we could always use a little more fruit at the market!
They are coming a LONG way, so please make them welcome!
Where's Sullivan, you ask? Why southern Lorain County, that's where!
Julie will be bringing her grass-fed pork and beef, (fresh frozen, of course), along with her strawberries (if they last that long)
and fresh-made jams and jellies (in season). She has more goodies, too; can't wait!
**a note here: Never fear, we are expecting Brian back, from Mini Moo Farm, with his popular pasture-raised beef, pork, chicken,
smokies and jerky, but he couldn't start right away, and may not make every market this year,
so I invited Bluebird Meadows to join us. Room for two!
purple-speckled sweet potatoes!!! Can't imagine such an animal, but we'll all see, won't we?!
THIS JUST IN!!! ADD 4* MORE!!!!
See, I told you we were growing by leaps and bounds!
Dr. Jeremy Hozjan from PinnacleChiropractic here in Twinsburg has taken a booth to offer you FREE chair massages!
Now that's a stimulus offer!
homemade dog treats are now featured year-round here in Twinsburg at K9 Piper's Place, Ltd. (former location of Millsville Cafe)
she'll feature homemade fruit pies, carrot cupcakes, specialty cookies, and maybe a brownie or two for good measure!
Summit County Master Gardeners. You might even pick up a packet of free seeds!
They won't be able to make it to every market, so while you have the chance this week, take advantage of their expertice!
All these specialty booths, and not enough fresh produce, you say? Well, we've got that covered, too! Another
Amish farming family, the Yutzy's from Middlefield, calling their booth Parkman Produce, will be here with more
yummy fruits and veggies for your dining room table. They will start July 9th.
That's ELEVEN NEW VENDORS!!! WOW!!! Plus all of our wonderful RETURNING ONES!
Check below to see if your favorite vendor from last year will be returning!
See you at the market!
*Don't forget that all of our vendors are updated weekly on the 'Vendors' page of this website.
Market News:
Unfortunately, we won't be seeing the smiling faces of Michele and Jessie (or Grandma Joann with her pizzelles, either)
from The Other Side of the Fence this year. Due to an injury to Michele, they won't be doing any markets this season.
Get well soon, Michele! We'll miss you! Hope to have you rejoin us in 2010!
More news: recently learned the Lessman family of Twinsburg, owners of Mount of Blessings Farm, and former vendors, have sold their farm and moved on to other pursuits. Best of luck!
And more news: Pigtails to Petite Fours (formerly Simpliciteas Cookies) owner, Luann, just broke the news that she will be unable to bake for this season due to family issues. She said to tell everyone, "Hi!" and she sends her regrets. We will hopefully see her next year!

Does this photo look familiar?
In late summer, 2008, we had a visit from Lisa Durbin's Daisy Girl Scout Troop on a field trip from Wilcox School! What fun!
I snapped this photo of 4 of the girls enjoying the cherry tomatoes from The Other Side of the Fence's booth.
Did you all get your copy of the June/July 2009 Community Times,
the official magazine of Twinsburg? We were excited that our market was featured
in a story inside, but thrilled when the editors selected this picture for the front cover!
I think the girls were just so cute, they won over the editors' hearts!
If you didn't get a copy, (they were mailed to every household in Twinsburg)
we'll have extras at the first market, or you can stop into the Twinsburg Visitors Center and pick one up. They are also available
at the Library, Fitness Center, Community Center, and City Hall.
