Ninny's Chicago Style Hot Dogs and Domzalski Farm
Farmer Dan has run his own 'end-of-the-drive' farm stand in Glenwillow for years. Now he'll be bringing his broccoli, cabbages, and collard greens to us!
Schmucker's Super Sauce is a commercial product, bottled in Orwell, Ohio. It will be sold at our market by Kathy Knapik, our school nurse from Dodge School. The super sauce is a pepper relish and comes in mild and hot varieties. Great on hot dogs and more! Free samples!
Richard Botamer is a honey producer from nearby Solon, and has been on our 'wait list' to get a booth at the market for years!
Baker John and his sister Kitty run an ODA-inspected home bakery in Solon
The Bellville Family of Aurora has always wanted to run a hot dog stand, and now they do! Come taste how they load & eat their 'dogs' in Chicago!
Farmer Jim grows lots of veggies and flowers!
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!
They'll be joining us on July 9th and 23rd, just to get their feet wet in the market business.
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!
Chris and Julie will be bringing their grass-fed pork and beef, (fresh frozen, of course), along with their strawberries (if they last that long) and fresh-made jams and jellies (in season). They have fresh brown eggs, as well; can't wait!
Last, but not least, is KJ Greens, who specialize in hydroponically-grown vegetables. Jeremy tells me to expect
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 Pinnacle Chiropractic here in Twinsburg
has taken a booth to offer you FREE chair massages!
Now that's a stimulus offer!
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,
take advantage of their expertice!
